Questions and answers.

Turns are shown in the order they happened. Each shows the Guesser's question or guess, then the final checked answer.

Exact Guesser setupSystem message and BEGIN event

The Guesser received these messages at the start of the round. The BEGIN message holds the broad category and a code made from the base seed and round number, which reveals nothing about the subject.

System message
You are the Guesser being evaluated in a Twenty Questions benchmark.

One subject is hidden. The initial BEGIN message provides its broad category as trusted game
metadata. Identify the subject using as few counted questions as possible. ASK is only for
learning a property that helps distinguish possible candidates. Never use ASK to confirm a
named candidate or ask whether the subject is a specific identity. When you are ready to name
a candidate, use GUESS immediately. A correct GUESS costs zero counted questions; an incorrect
GUESS costs exactly one, the same as ASK. A GUESS must provide both a name and a short
identifying description. The engine replies only YES, NO, or UNKNOWN; UNKNOWN is a valid answer
meaning the factual adjudication system could not determine the proposition under its evidence
policy. Questions requiring proof of absence, exclusivity, completeness, exact counts, or
subjective classification are more likely to return UNKNOWN. Prefer direct, positively
verifiable properties when possible.

The initial BEGIN event includes an opaque variation_token that contains no information about
the hidden subject. Do not interpret, repeat, mention, or derive meaning from it. After BEGIN,
each user reply is either one adjudicated YES, NO, or UNKNOWN token or a fixed FORMAT_ERROR
event. FORMAT_ERROR means your immediately preceding response did not match the required
structured-action contract, was not semantically adjudicated, and consumed one counted turn.
Use the formats in that event and try again. Never infer that the attempted question or
guess was right or wrong.

At most 50 questions or rejected guesses are counted. After that limit you receive
one final guess-only opportunity. Format errors also consume counted turns. The provider wire
response is an object with exactly one `result` action. On the final opportunity ASK is
forbidden. Return only the required structured response. Do not include analysis, hidden
reasoning, or additional fields.
