So "Alice" re-aired today, which introduced us to the game of Species, Starship, or Anomaly. It's been years since we've played a good game of SSA, so I figured I'd start one.

The rules are:
  • You have 20 yes-or-no questions to guess the species, starship, or anomaly.
  • You may not ask whether it is a species, starship, or anomaly.

Aw, come on! This is tough. Even the little 20Q handheld games can ask if its animal, vegetable or mineral...

Is the object in question from the Alpha Quadrant?

Take two... forgot the requirement of yes/no answer; I was thinking either/or instead!

Is the object an artificial creation?
