New chat AI applications like ChatGPT offer an advanced understanding of question context and memory across multi-step tasks, such that experiments can test its deductive reasoning. This paper proposes a multi-role and multi-step challenge, where ChatGPT plays the classic twenty-questions game but innovatively switches roles from the questioner to the answerer. The main empirical result establishes that this generation of chat applications can guess random object names in fewer than twenty questions (average, 12) and correctly guess 94% of the time across sixteen different experimental setups. The research introduces four novel cases where the chatbot fields the questions, asks the questions, both question-answer roles, and finally tries to guess appropriate contextual emotions. One task that humans typically fail but trained chat applications complete involves playing bilingual games of twenty questions (English answers to Spanish questions). Future variations address direct problem-solving using a similar inquisitive format to arrive at novel outcomes deductively, such as patentable inventions or combination thinking. Featured applications of this dialogue format include complex protein designs, neuroscience metadata, and child development educational materials.

本文介绍一个基于 ChatGPT 的多角色、多步骤的二十问游戏挑战，研究发现在各种实验中，ChatGPT 可以在少于二十个问题（平均为 12 个问题）内猜出随机对象名称，并且在十六种不同的实验设置中正确率达到 94％。ChatGPT 在四种新颖的用例中扮演提问者、回答者、提问和回答双方角色，并最终尝试猜测适当的情感，并证明 ChatGPT 所表现出来的推理和问答技能可以用于复杂的蛋白质设计、神经科学元数据和儿童发展教育材料等领域。
