Ka Wai Tam (see previous post) also has a page on what he calls Yes Or No Questions but which I learned as Albatross stories (though this seems not to be a common usage, at least as far as Google is concerned). The idea here is that you are presented with a bizarre scenario, and you have to work out what happened using only yes or no questions.
One fairly easy example is, "A man pushes his car up to a hotel and goes bankrupt." There are lots more, so I may post a selection at some point.
