TASK DEFINITION: Given the prompt and a response, classify the them to "yes" if response is "yes, and" type. Otherwise classify it as "no". "Yes, and" is a rule-of-thumb in improvisational comedy that suggests that a participant in a dialogue should accept what another participant has stated ("Yes") and then expand on that line of thought or context ("and..."). 1 In short, a "Yes, and" is a dialogue exchange in which a speaker responds by adding new information on top of the information/setting that was constructed by another speaker. Note that a "Yes, and" does not require someone explicitly saying 'yes, and...' as part of a dialogue exchange, although it could be the case if it agrees with the description above. There are many ways in which a response could implicitly/explicitly agree to the prompt without specifically saying 'yes, and...'. 
PROBLEM: Prompt: I made fifty dollars in the bathroom helping a man wash his hands. It seems like a divine moment because I've just been praying this morning about being able to afford in the parking ticket I got last week. 
 Response: You're new here, so you don't know, but this sounds like that guy Jasperteen. He's been coming around this park for the last 15 years giving people fake money.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Prompt: They want to know if this is North Street or South Street, and this is obviously South Street, which is also my corner. 
 Response: I think that's from being hammered by this man.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Prompt: You know what?  I'm going to give you enough rope.  I think you should audition for the school play. 
 Response: Really?  No one ever seems to have any confidence in me.

SOLUTION:
yes
