DOES. HE. LOOK. LIKE. A BITCH?

@Scp-3125  
W.. what

Does he look like a bitch?

@Prof.NightJack  
Its obviously been too long since I actually played :V But the point about going for commonalities stands. Actually, you don’t really want to ask for the most common, but roughly about 50/50, to make sure that either way the answer goes you’re knocking out as many options as possible.

@Keith Mowz  
Oh and “old” is likely going to be a little subjective.  
I have played a few games where the other preson thought a white hared woman was old simply for having white hair, there was a woman with red hair that was clearly older but because of that subjective idea of “old” I lose as I flipped down the right one as I asked “are they old” and got yes, so I flipped down all young one and said young white haired woman was one.

@Keith Mowz  
Wearing red will do nothing really, see if you are the red player then all the people on your board where red, and for the blue player they have blue on.  
The card you pick out for who your person is, they have yellow on.

@Prof.NightJack  
Hair color, eye color and gender are all broad strokes questions that are normally the most likely to work for eliminating options but obviously if you can find other commonalities between the remainder (If, say, you’re down to seven and three are wearing glasses, wearing red, are middle aged, etc.) then you go with them instead.

@Keith Mowz  
The game is 36 years old, it’s been re worked to make it not so easy to win with just luck.

@Keith Mowz  
Step one will not cut them in half, the male to female ratio in not even.  
See there are 5 females and they they don’t share much, if you removes all males then the nest step can only remove at most two, then the last three females with have to go one by one.
 
So no mater if you get a yes or no on step one you have to work for at lest two more turns, you say there is no strategy beyond 1 but the way the game is forces you to think more precisely if you end up with just females, you may have a lot less but you cant eliminate them as fast.

@Prof.NightJack  
I’m presuming traits are evenly distributed for simplicity’s sake then for the following numbermations.
 
Step 1: Eliminate half of the 24 options. 11 or 12 remain, depending if you’ve eliminated your own person.
 
Step 2: Unfavorably, only eliminate 3 of the remaining with a ‘no’. You’re always picking the most common remaining trait, so a “no” still eliminates more choices than any other negative outcome could have. 8-9 remain.
 
Step 3: Unfavorably again, only eliminate another 3 of the remainder. 5-6 remain.
 
With bad luck, you’ve already eliminated 75% of your options in just three moves.
 
There is no strategy to the game beyond 1. Be lucky and 2. Always ask for the most common remaining trait, because even a negative response makes as big a difference as possible. Simple math. Because, again, its luck. You can try to ask a rarer trait in hopes that you luck out and get a positive answer, but literally statistically speaking you are the definition of probably wrong to do so.

@Prof.NightJack  
*blonde

@Keith Mowz  
Not as much luck as you seem to think.  
There is a little strategy in it, see all trait but gender have about 5 people with it, so it take 4 turns to narrow down the 24 to about 4 people left.  
You also have a good clue from the start that give you the best things not to ask about at first as this mix of a set of trait would not be what they have, the person you have.  
So if you have one that is blond with brown eyes and glasses then it;s best save these three for later on.

@Prof.NightJack  
Again, its all a matter of luck. If any of your step 2-4 answers are a “yes” then you eliminate dramatically more than if they’re “no” and win faster than the other person.

@Keith Mowz  
There is one problem with this.  
You take a guess and are wrong you lose.  
So when you get the step 4 and ask “Is it X”, well if you are not right on the money you lose right away.

@Keith Mowz  
Well, your four-year-old cousin wouldn’t have more fun with the slot machine!
 
Play it for them! C’mawn, Keith Mowz!

@ShimmeringStallion  
Any game that can be reduced down to pure luck like that and is over in less than a minute is not a satisfying game, IMO. :V Have more fun playing a slot machine.

@Keith Mowz  
Well you say 1-2 turns at the end, there. Technically, it can come down to them just getting it down to one person left, and you need a second turn to figure out which of the last two is theirs. So really, they CAN win on the turn before you’d win.

Of course not! Celestia is only 28….  
She’s been 28 for the past 1174 years…

@gittonsxv  
That was her identical twin sister Clesta, whom Celestia killed.

I always found Guess Who boring.
 
Step 1: Ask if they’re a guy.  
Step 2: Ask if they have a specific hair color, whichever is the most common of whats left.  
Step 3: Ask if they have a specific eye color, again, whichever is the most common of whats left.  
Step 4: You have maybe two or three choices at most left. Win in 1-2 turns.
 
Its basically a matter of ‘go first, win game’.

@The Hittite  
If Princess Celestia says that she’s nine hundred fifty years old, she’s nine hundred fifty years old.

@gasmaskangel  
that’s supposed to be a secret
