It's interesting to note that every question that's used the word "good" has so far gotten a yes, as has every question that's used the word "shirt" or "shirts".

Is this a good shirt?

We know this much:

The rule is sensitive to word order; the freebies given after question 50 differ from questions 30 and 48 only by word order, yet the answer is different. The same goes for 49 and 58, 56 and 57, and 74 and 75.
57 and 59 differ by only the second word, yet they got different responses. The same goes for 58 and 59.
70 and 71 differ only by 71 adding two words at the end, yet they got different responses. On the other hand, 69 and 71 differ only by 71 adding two words to the
beginning
, but they got the same response.

I will sleep on this, and if nobody appears to have any clue, I'll ask for the second hint.

(Not a question for the game, but a rule change proposal: Should we lighten the penalty for a first offense for editing to simply ignoring the edited question/guess so we can requalify Jake the Wolfie? It’s kinda hard when I’m the only petitioner.)

Some observations:
So far:

Every question starting with the words "Should I not", including "Should I not?" itself, have been answered yes. However, questions starting with the words "Should I" without the word "not" following have more often been answered no (but can go either way).
Every question starting with the words "Is there", "Will all", "Will no", or "Will nobody" have been answered no (however, every question starting with the words "Will noone", without the space between "no" and "one", have been answered yes).
Word order matters, as does spacing.
