Short answers, pulled from the story.
Questions is a language game in which two players volley questions back and forth without ever making a declarative statement. Players lose points for fouls such as statements, hesitations, or non sequiturs, and the first to three points wins a game.
A foul in Questions is called for a statement, hesitation, repetition, rhetoric, non sequitur, synonym, or grunt. Each foul awards the opponent one point.
A single game of Questions is won by the first player to reach three points. A full match is decided best of three games, so a player must win two games to take the match.
Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead prominently features the game of Questions, including a scripted exchange between the two title characters. A 1990 film adaptation of the play includes an abridged version of the same scene.
The neo-Vaudevillian troupe The Flying Karamazov Brothers performed a version of the Questions dialogue from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead while juggling three beanbags. Brothers "Ivan" and "Dmitri", played by Howard Jay Patterson and Paul David Magid, performed the routine in the shows "Juggling and Cheap Theatrics" and "Club!".
On Whose Line Is It Anyway, the game of Questions is played within a set scene, and the host buzzes out any player who makes a statement, hesitates, or breaks into laughter. The rules are looser than the standard game since the goal is to entertain the audience, and the host awards an arbitrary winner a meaningless number of points.
