It can read your mind

Most of us have played it as children, or perhaps as an adult with our nephews, nieces, and grandchildren. I’m talking of course of 20 Questions.  Have you though seen the 20 questions ball, or perhaps you have a box?  My sister-in-law bought a 20Q™ for me about 10 years ago, and I’m still challenging it today.
