The least not unmisleading verdicts are:
[R] Yes, ornamental.
[S] Yes, personally ornamental.
A gold tooth?
[SM] Not a gold tooth.
Is it an item of regalia?
An ear-ring?
Not an ear-ring aid
Is it unique?
[B] applause! It is an item of regalia. I wonder whose it could possibly be?
[R] Not an ear-ring.
[T] It is unique!
The Royal Mankini?
[SM] The audience boggles. Not the Royal Mankini, whatever that is. The audience is relieved.
A sceptre?
Camilla's naval piercing?
A Prince Albert?
[R] applause! Not a sceptre.
[C] The audience returns to embogglement. Not a "naval piercing", which sounds like a hazard female crew members might face on the high seas.
[S] Not a Prince Albert.
Is it his magnificent orb?
[SM] Yes, the Sovereign's Orb. Have this genuine replica in real gold-coloured metal and diamond-look acrylic, which plays "Colonel Bogey" when you wind it up by the cross.
OK, time to think of a new one then. Let's have a non-topical ABSTRACT
Is it an 89 degree angle?
[89°] No, not even close.
Unconsciousness?
Is it a 14 degree angle?
[Unconsciousness] No.
[14°] No.

[Single word] Nay.
Could this abstract entity exist in the absence of humans?

Does it consist of sounds?
[Noises on or off] No.

Is it computer-related?
[computery] Yes! An inspired guess; loud applaus from the audience, and even a couple of whoops.
A game?
[a game?] No, but applause continues
A peripheral?
[peripheral] No. Applause abruptly stops, hint hint. Besides, that would be a physical object so it would probably be mineral.
The Metaverse?
[Metaverse] No. Does anyone know what un-clapping sounds like?
[SM] I believe it's done with one hand.
Related to AI?
A standard?
[AI, standard] No, both still too cold for the clapping to restart.
Associated with a particular computer game?
Does a number figure in the AOTC?
[particular] No Clapping resumes
I think you've got it, near as dammit
[numbery] No
Computer games in general?
A winner
[Computer games] Yes, that was the AOTC. Please go to Steam and fill out a pre-order bonus add-on form for your exclusive premium-content custom baton.

A manufactured item?
[R] Yes, manufactured.
Is it on the earth?
But is it art?
Is it a particle collider?
