E2 Guessing game
Divide the class into two groups. A student from group A will go out of the class and a student
from group B will write the name of a famous person on the blackboard. The whole class will
read the name before it is erased. The student outside will come back in and ask a maximum of
twenty yes/no questions one by one to figure out who the famous person is. For every question,
the students of group B will answer only with yes or no. No other clues should be given. Make
sure to play honestly.

A group will get five points if the student names the person correctly within five questions, four
points if he/she does it within ten questions, three points if within fifteen questions, and two
points if within the last five questions. Then a student from group B will go out, and group A will
write a name on the board.
If a student is unable to name the person the group does not get any points. The cycle is repeated
with a new name each time. The team with the highest points at the end of ten rounds wins.
