These group challenges are hell for me!

Once again, I feel so...restricted.

Note to Host: You really shouldn't use big words like "labyrinth". I would guess a few people here don't know the meaning of it and don't have the ingenuity to go look it up.

(Ok, no more barbs....within this thread.)

So, can we first assume there is something about Japanese culture that played a role in her getting to her destination? Does anyone know a lot about Japanese culture?

There must have been signs around.

We have to ask either what kind of a building it was or what industry Jane is in.

Let Roger be the leader again.

Moon, you seen this one before???

Figuring it's a business office, and she ses no one, the blind part sure makes sense. Interesting take on the deaf issue! Only 20 questions--they figured out with endless questions, we could just logic through it. Now we have to narrow our ideas!

To me it makes no never mind about the leader. The important thing is to brainstorm as many possiblities as we can, and ask our questions in a specific order, and only 1 at a time--well at least IHMO.

I have to trouble following a woman. Xenia or Moon, want to be "leader"??

Damn I just lost my last post!

I don't really care who the leader is...

I think one question should be Is she blind or deaf? and Is she human?

A guide dog can not talk nor read signs but could make her way through the halls if the person is physically challenged and needed a working dog ... named Jane

Ok, I'll go with that--do we ask as you state it, or do we ask one at a time (since if she's both, a yes answer doesn't tell us that. If we say AND, and she is only 1, then they answer no. Just thoughts to ask you guys--gals actually. Sorry, I use guys as a non-gender greeting.

Is she physically challenged?

Is she blind or Deaf?

Is she a working dog?

Most likely, as the signs in Japan wouldn't be readable to an sighted person, so gives misdirection. I see that the fact she's never been there before just says she hadn't gone through the halls before--minor information.

Note we don't have much time, at least in terms of non-work hours for folks in real life.

Moon, your questions are good. Do you want to forgo the first and ask the second one in it's place? How much time shall we give others before going for a question?? Or additinal questins??

Before you go, I asked a question of you (nomination) at Hot Tub. Would you look at it sometime tonight?

How could her seeing-eye dog know it's way around the building if it's also the dog's first time there?

The first thing that hit me though was the blindness issue. We might be on track with that.

Vy ... it says she can not read the signs

Vykin

She understands the Japanese language and doesn't need help to get where she is going.

(private thought: Xenia said Note to Host: You really shouldn't use big words like "labyrinth".
Geesh , I wonder which side of stupid she was born on?)

Good point Moon--I knew that! Brain fart or brain dead! lol

Vykin--she couldn't read any of the sings, so not universal--if so, she could read them??

Just 1 question to find out if Jane is human, and gets us off that track if she isn't????

Wait!!!! It says Jane can't see anyone--a working dog would see people??

Roger & Moon: Man, you guys are good at this.

I never would have immediately thought of the blind theory.

If she was blind and with a dog, maybe someone noticed her and helped her to her destination.

But what about this Japan thing?

On the first day of a business trip to Japan, Jane arrives at a large office building. She had never been there before, and could not read any of the signs. Without seeing or talking with anyone, she quickly makes her way through a labyrinth of hallways to arrive at her destination. Explain how.

(thought i'd copy this here to make it easier for us to reference to) anyone want a beer?
