We'll keep playing until someone gets it right, or everybody quits.

Rules: You can ask only yes/no questions to try to figure out what animal/vegetable/mineral I'm thinking about. It should be something that everyone's most likely heard of.

My answers will either be: yes, no, or I don't know.

The winner gets to start the game over.
