arXiv:1808.07645v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The 20 Questions (Q20) game is a well known game which encourages deductive reasoning and creativity. In the game, the answerer first thinks of an object such as a famous person or a kind of animal. Then the questioner tries to guess the object by asking 20 questions.

However, the optimal policy of question selection is hard to
