What it does

Root: Starting question • Leaf: Final outcome
How it works
- Start with one question at the top.
- Follow the yes or no path that matches the item.
- Stop at the final box. That box is the answer.
Uses & Applications

- A game can guess an animal by asking questions like “Can it fly?”
- A website can help support teams send a question to the right person.
