We use a variation of the rules posted [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botticelli_(game)). We have a gentleman’s agreement not to Google answers, but researching questions for accuracy is OK. We go to 20 DQs, but usually allow extra DQs to be asked, then allow a day to guess the answer. We’ve been going down the alphabet for names. We’re currently on M and the next will be N. ---

We’re currently on M and the next will be N. I have always thought it’s that those asking questions can rely only on memory, but the gamemaster may research DQs, if unsure about the correct answer, so as not to mislead the players.
