20 Questions: Autumn Leaves Edition

By: Mr. Wilson on October 26, 2012
It's that time again! Let's brighten up this gray, autumn weather we're having by playing 20 questions. Need a refresher on the rules? Here they are:
  1. The answer is related to Lincoln.
  2. The questions should be worded so they generate a yes/no answer.
  3. Each person may ask one question at a time. After your question has been answered, you may ask another one.
  4. Ask your question as a comment to this blog post. Do not ask your question as a reply to another comment (i.e. a "nested comment").
You may want to review previous games if you're not quite sure how this all works: Snow Day Edition; Winter Solstice Edition; Mr. Wilson's Vacation Edition, Nikkidemas Asked For It Edition; WIL Replacement Edition. Ask away! We have a winner! Congratulations to avabee for figuring it out on the 16th question. Here was the progression:
  1. It's not a person.
  2. It is within publicly-owned property.
  3. It is not a building.
  4. It is not a park.
  5. It is not south of O Street.
  6. It is west of 27th Street.
  7. It is in UNL-owned property.
  8. It is not a piece of artwork.
  9. It is not outdoors.
  10. It is south of Holdrege Street.
  11. It is not in Memorial Stadium.
  12. It is on UNL's City Campus.
  13. It is in Morrill Hall.
  14. It's not a skeleton.
  15. It is Mueller Planetarium.
Good work everybody!

Is it (or within) a park?

Mr. Wilson
October 26, 2012 at 4:24PM

Hmm, trying to get away with two questions at once, are ya? I’m going to need a ruling from the judges on this one.

[Judges huddle and mumble among themselves.]

The judges have ruled that they’ll allow your question(s) this time, but you’d better watch yourself, young lady!

The answer you seek: No.

Hmmm…UNL + the location clues make me think it could be something related to Technology Park.

Nikkidemas
October 26, 2012 at 7:46PM

...nevermind.  I guess the location doesn’t rule out the main campus.

Mr. Wilson

I took a stab in the dark at it. I was sure it was either Eric Crouch’s Heisman trophy or The Horseshoe.
