The resurrection of 20 questions, where you have a max of 20 yes-or-no questions to determine the answer posed by the photo.

For our inaugural return, your goal is to determine the point where I'm standing. Good luck.

OK, we will give 20 Questions a chance on here. But, the game will be closely monitored, so it doesn't go too far off line.

Happy 20 Questions gaming...just, gaming responsibly.

does one of the states contain I-35?

Bad question, Jake–if both of them contain I-35 he could say "no"!

okay, this is degenerating into Binary Search Bingo (dividing the possible region in two with each guess). Yes, with 20 questions we could probably narrow it down to a single square mile or so even if we never saw the picture in the first place... what does that prove, that we're almost as smart as simple computer algorithms? Great! Billions of years of evolution at work.

The game is identical to "guess the infrastructure element" except there's a limit on the number of guesses. Whoop-de-doo.

Game over.
