20 Questions

Yesterday, we met the whole day. I think I'm going to get into more trouble. I spoke my mind on things that I think I should not have. But I just needed to get it out of my system. The funny thing is, even after saying it, I dont think it has gotten out yet. I need to talk to the relevant people when I get back from this conference trip. We'll see if the anger persists...

Learned a nice game today. A good friend of mine taught me. She calls it '20 questions'. Basically what you do is have someone think of one thing that is either an animal, a vegetable or a mineral. Then you can ask twenty 'yes/no' question to guess what it is. For example

animal, vegetable or mineral?
animal
1. Is it a mammal? No
2. Is it a reptile? No
3. Is it an insect? No
4. Is it an amphibian?No
5. Is it a reptile? No
6. Is it an athropod? No
7. Is it a mollusc? No
8. Is it a cnidarian? No
9. Does it stay on land? No
10. Does it stay in a mangrove? No
11. Does it live in a coastal environment? Yes
12. Does it have legs? No
13. Is it a starfish? No
14. Is it a sea cucumber? No
15. Is it a plankton? No
16. Is it a coral? YES!

Actually yesterday when we played it in the car trip back from that golf club where we had our meeting, back to the East where we recuperate from the meeting at the golf club, nobody solved it. They were close though. The above is just an example. I think I'm going to use this next year. This game is good for learning classifications.

But right now, I better prepare the conference paper that I feel not like preparing nor presenting. But first, I'll have breakfast.
