Yes/No-question puzzle
Woo hoo!
I thought a hospital was involved. Why didn't I ask?
Um, let's think. Ok, got it (it might be quite hard, jdl):
Some people are looking for something, but it just doesn't seem to be there. Then, it is there. What is it, and how did it appear? And why did they want it?

Oops, sorry, what I meant was did they want it to help other people (who are not looking for it), but I can see that the answer to that is a no... Right?mqdar wrote:3. What do you mean? Which 'others'?

As usual, funny offshoot story guess before normal questions:
Some: spectators
What's not there: a coin which was *just* vanished by a magician.
Why it's there: he reappeared it, duh!
Why they wanted it: they were curious!
That's wild, and I KNOW it's wrong (if it's right, then ) but it's just such a funny idea, isn't it?!

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

Actually I think there is few information, but I'll give it a try
Some people are looking for something, but it just doesn't seem to be there.
2 Is it:
a. literally a matter/stuff consisting of molecules/atoms or such?
b. If a=yes, is it solid, liquid or gas?
c. something physical, but not a matter? For example, time, energy, distance, light, warmth etc.
d. something abtract, like a feeling/emotions or property
e. If it's none of these, which one is closest.
Some people are looking for something, but it just doesn't seem to be there.
3 Are they.
a. real people? Like you , me, Napoleon or G.W. Bush?
b. specific people? For example, it can be Napoleon but not you or me. It can be Stinky but not Loof.
c. people who could be real but not really are? From a book, movie etc.
d. people who can't be real? For example, Superman, Stinky, Santa Claus, the white king in chess.
e. If it's none of these, which one is closest.
but it just doesn't seem to be there.
4 Do you mean it only doesn't seem to be there, but in fact it is there? Or it isn't there at all?
Then, it is there.
5 After how much time is it there?
a. Is it to be said in seconds, minutes, hours,.......,millennia?
b. If yes, how many?

I gotta admit, time was one of my instant guesses - e.g. When you want time, it might not be there so you have to do other stuff to get more time.Marinus wrote:c. something physical, but not a matter? For example, time, energy, distance, light, warmth etc.

Marinus:
1 Do I mean I'm not even sure what it is? I am sure. Would that be a yes or a no?
2 Is it:

b. If a=yes, is it solid, liquid or gas? That's not a yes/no question, but, it's a solid.

d. something abtract, like a feeling/emotions or property No.
e. If it's none of these, which one is closest. Cannot answer.
3 Are they.
a. real people? Like you , me, Napoleon or G.W. Bush? Partly.*
b. specific people? For example, it can be Napoleon but not you or me. It can be Stinky but not Loof. Yes.
c. people who could be real but not really are? From a book, movie etc. Yes.

a. Is it to be said in seconds, minutes, hours,.......,millennia? Yes, just normal time.
b. If yes, how many? Some seconds I would say.

1. Is it a daily object / common object?
2. If it's an uncommon / rare object, is it a mineral? a valuable one?
3. Does time of day / lightning matter to this puzzle?
If so, would it be something reflective (e.g. Diamond)?
(If it's valuable) Did they want it to make money? To sell it?
Okay, that's all the Yes/No questions I can think of right now.

About some questions which are not really Yes/No questions, I think I said before: I like to keep it compact. One multiple choice question instead of 4 y/n questions, or the question "how many" instead of more then 10? more then 100? etc.
When you have a integer number in mind between 0 and 1000, I need to ask about 10 y/n questions to get it. In case of a number between 0 and 1000000 about 20 questions. I think it's easier for you and me when I ask then:"how many" or "a,b,c or d". Ok?
a spectators
b coin
c vanished
d magican
e reappear
f curious
g other
2 So the "something" is a solid matter. Is it
a. a matter consisting of little particles like sand, salt or money
b. an object of one piece, like a stone or a coin
5 Do both things; time of day and lightness, matter or only one of them? In that case, which one?
6 Are there more people and some of them are real, some could be real but are not, and some of them couldn't be real?
7 Can this story happen in real life?
It is there, but it doesn't seem to be there.
8 It doesn't seem to be there just for those specific people, or for most people, or everyone?

When you say: "I think so" then I think you're not sure1 Do I mean I'm not even sure what it is? I am sure. Would that be a yes or a no?
2 So the "something" is a solid matter. Is it

3 You mean No on both question? It's not a mineral and it's not valuable?2. If it's an uncommon / rare object, is it a mineral? a valuable one? No.
So it's not reflective. 4 Does it send light by itself?3. Does time of day / lightning matter to this puzzle? Yes.

1 there is a magican involved?
2 The "something" is reappeared? (but not by the magican)
3 So it is more then one object?2 So the "something" is a solid matter. Is it
a. a matter consisting of little particles like sand, salt or money? No
b. an object of one piece, like a stone or a coin? No
4 How many?
Ok but will you please answer both questions seperately:3 You mean No on both question? It's not a mineral and it's not valuable? I mean, it's not a valuable mineral.
5 Is it a mineral?
6 Is it valuable?
7 Did "it" not seem to be there because it was dark?5 Do both things; time of day and lightness, matter or only one of them? In that case, which one? Lightness.
Indeed, you say, some of the people are not real or can't be real. But..7 Can this story happen in real life? No.
8 Is the "something / it" real?
9 Is the story an existing story from a book, movie, game (or something like that)? In that case, a book, movie, game, or other?

1 Exactly! He went to the hospital for an eye-surgery.mqdar wrote:1. Did what happened at B make him not blind anymore?
2. Did he think that life was over if he was blind again?
2 In a manner of speaking. He thought he was blind again, and he was so sad about it, that he committed suicide.
Congratulations Darshan!

To the puzzle about something not being there and suddenly being there:
Was it a portal/vortex? Was it Aliens and magicians(or whatever) looking for a portal/vortex to lead them somewhere?
Was it a black hole that was on auction and that was unstable on the other side and leads you about 80 years worth away at warp speed?(Yeah, got that from Star Trek.)
