Yeah. I have to say though that the space-time continuum question was quite the mixup. I’ll get the next one started in a few hours..

 It’s likely from an opera, but many Italian operas were set in France/Spain.
Once you knew where to look selecting the right one was almost evident I assume.

So presumably it is a fictional character that regarless of when written/made was born {1731-1811} and dies and whose first language is romance but not Spanish or Portuguese.

Guess wisely. I haven't a clue.

Or it's a real and there will be a row.

Because they didn't understand the question. But honestly the question wasn't clear anyways.

Do you answer yes, because the story of the fictional character exists in our space-time continuum?

Or do you answer no, because they are a fictional character, and if they were to even be considered existing, then by force they would have to occupy a different space-time continuum?
We had an argument there and I admit I might have applied a too broad definition at first, but I thought Jamiet‘s not fantastic definition settled that.
Yeah, just replying to JECE. But I'll take this opportunity to explain it clearer:

Asking if someone exists in our space-time continuum is just a fancy way of asking if they were ever part of our dimension's timeline.

Real people occupy our space-time continuum because they were alive and existed at some point.

No matter the setting of the fiction, a fictional character would not exist in our space-time continuum, except as a story/action figure/etc.

The moral here is to just ask questions in an easy to understand manner. But we can definitively say that fictional characters are not part of our space-time continuum :P
I saw it more as an mathematical representation irrespective of the actual physics taking place in it.

 Is it a fictional character that first appeared in the period {1731-1811}?
No

Five total guesses left.

 So we are on Question 20.

Team - do you think it's worth asking whether real? It's heavily hinted as fictional but we don't actually know that.
I think we know that. Otherwise why claim (in a peculiar way) that there might be some uncertainty about the DOB?
OK so assuming a fictional character written or set {1731-18111} who dies what's a good question?
