1. Only yes/no questions may be asked.
2. If the answer is unclear, question master must clarify why.
3. One guess per person does not count against the total, but additional guesses by the same person do. After all 20 questions are up, three total guesses are allowed.
4. Please choose people real or fictional that are not obscure. Having a Wikipedia page is a fair indicator of appropriateness. No repeats.
5. Whoever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master. If they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.
6. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, on the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.

This is someone I've wanted to do for a while, but I think they're borderline on the dartboard test, so I'm going to start with a hint so you don't spend the first 10 questions just figuring out they aren't a British actor.
