I have the item or thing written down and in a sealed envelope on my desk. You have 20 questions to find out what it is. All questions will be answered Yes or No. Who's going to start?

OK - only 16 questions left, Lets see what we know (and what we don't know)
You can't eat it (Q1)
It isn't man-made (Q2)
It isn't alive (Q3)
Its bigger than a bread-box (Q4)

Well, it can't be chain-saw (Q2), teddy bear (Q2), real bear (Q3) or floppy disk (Q4). What else can't it be (not a question, just random speculation ....)

There has been a cross over of post
