Aze, you have approximately 4 hours left in which to ask your question.
Aliciahou, you are up after Aze.

Aliciahou asked a valuable question about the rules: "We can only win a pet once if we just ask one question, but if we ask one with two parts (like, is this Griffi in this place AND is this Lighira in that place?), then we could win two?"
The answer is no. Each player is limited to winning just one egg. If a player asks a question that includes the correct locations of more than one egg, that player has to pick which egg they want to receive. In Aliciahou's example question, if the answer was "yes," that player must choose between the Griffi and the Lighira.
If the player chose, for example, the Lighira egg, the next player could just repeat the Griffi part ("Is the Griffi Prize egg in this place?") and win the Griffi egg. A very easy way to win an egg, but it requires a LOT of luck!

So...it'd be a bad idea to guess two, then.
Okay.
*sigh* I've found two eggs, though...or I think...which one, which one?...XD

Aliciahou asked another sensible question about the rules. I'm going to have to put her on staff, LOL! Here's the question.
"...since we can do "And" questions, can we do "or" questions? Would it be that you'd answer but we won't know which question you answered? But what if they're questions about eggs and one of the questions is right?"
First, read post 120.
Second, yes, players can ask "or" questions as well as "and" questions. I'll take Demonsshadow's example question from Post 120 and change it to an "or" question, to show how this would work.
"Is the griffi egg located in this forum topic, in this thread, on this page/post OR is the lighira egg also located in this person's hatchery in this page, in this slot?"
This would be a perfectly acceptable question. Here's how I would answer such a question.
1. In the example, if the Griffi Prize egg was located in the topic, thread, and post this player had guessed for it, but the Lighira Prize egg was not located in the Hatchery and slot this player had guessed for it, then I would answer YES, because with the "or" in there, a YES has to mean only one is true.
2. Likewise, if the Lighira Prize egg was located in the Hatchery and slot this player had guessed for it, but he Griffi Prize egg was not located in the topic, thread, and post this player had guessed for it, then I would again answer YES. Notice that for 1 and 2, even with a YES you don't know which one is true, only that one is true and one is false.
3. However, if the Griffi Prize egg was located in the topic, thread, and post this player had guessed for it, plus the Lighira Prize egg was located in the Hatchery and slot this player had guessed for it, then I would answer NO. The question is asking if only one is a true location, so if both are true, the answer has to be NO.
4. Finally, if the Griffi Prize egg was not located in the topic, thread, and post this player had guessed for it, plus the Lighira Prize egg was not located in the Hatchery and slot this player had guessed for it, then I would, once more, answer NO.
In short, for an "or" question, a YES means one guess is correct and one is wrong, but you still don't know which, while a NO means either both are true or both are false--and again, you don't know which it is.

Well, then, I guess this question would get us nowhere as well.
