So, what i am suggesting is a contest that can be very successful !!!

Description :

Firstly, the host is needed to be very creative. He will have to think of "something", and then try to express them in words. This something can be : an animal, a car, a landscape , a waterfall, a sea, a country, a religion , a "whatever".
So, to cut it short, a short description of one thing will be given, a very short one.
Then comes the participants or "inquirers"(as called in this contest).They will have to make a submission, as the one that follows !!!

|I wish to take part|

Username:
My Question:

So, let me explain the application now !!!

After the very short description done by the host of the contest, the participant or ""inquirer", has the right to ask one question. The question cannot be too basic, just a simple question, and the "inquirer" should not be asking details !
After the submission is made, the host will reply to your question in your submission post. After that the "inquirer" will have to send a PM to the host, with his guess.
Let me show you how it can be done !!!

The Host
*Makes his description!!!
"A red eatable fruit"​

The Participant's Submission

|I wish to take part|

Username: Jack Sparrow
My Question: Where does it originate from?

NOTE!!!
*The host must be very careful of what he chooses to describe, it would be better to find something unique, like for example the one i made in the table above. Let's take strawberry, it can grow in almost every country, and doesn't have an exact answer from where it originates!!!

So, this was it, i hope you like this contest idea !!! :)
Thanks for reading !!! =D

It has a nice concept to it. I personally like it, and would love to see it happening. It's just a small, fun, enjoyable challenge for the Members of NarutoBase.

How do we ensure that Nobody cheats using Google ? Other than that, I am Neutral on this.

This idea is strangely alluring; possibly because I wish to put NB members through the torturous role of being asked a strangely difficult question (such as: 'why, according to Riemann, do the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann-zeta function have real part one-half?').​

That's why i said this :

He must be careful in the description he makes and also, to find something unique !!! :)

And how many people can make unique riddles to which a person can logically derive an answer ?

I think something like this would be more suited as a Forum Game.
I suggest you make a thread like that in the Chatterbox section, and if you're lucky and it gets popular, it might become a FG.

Exactly what I wanted to say. In the end it's just answering a riddle. As people said it's a very simple concept, too simple in fact to make a contest out of it. It's something that could work in the FG where things like this belong, but this is not of the caliber you make a whole contest out of it, especially because we are careful when we are considering adding a new contest.

Well, it was just a suggestion, if it's okay to be put as a FG then OK :)
