Examples

“Bible Twenty Questions. Divide into two teams— the backseat versus the frontseat. Each team picks a person or object from the Bible. For instance, the backseaters choose Noah's ark. The frontseaters try to discover the answer by asking twenty questions. They begin by finding out if it is animal, vegetable, or mineral. They only ask questions which can be answered by a yes or a no.”

“You undoubtedly know that each F-4 Phantom jet carried two pilots in separate, tandem cockpits. Major Dennis Harper was the frontseater and was the AC or Aircraft Commander. Jim was the backseater or the GIB.”
