How does this game work?

32

We use a variation of the rules posted here.

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.
