Re: Twenty questions, round 260

Born anywhere other than Liechtenstein, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Svalbard, Jan Mayen or Belarussian SSR? Hopefully this narrows it down to the Baltic States at a longitude further north than Copenhagen. The problem is if there are any extremely famous actors from the Baltic States, they would have ...

Re: Twenty questions, round 260

Hopefully this narrows it down to the Baltic States at a longitude further north than Copenhagen, or it at least eliminates somewhere that we haven't thought of.

Edit: added Norway

Re: Twenty questions, round 260

If its a Dane, on the ground that his tiny island is not shown an extremely small scale map, I will barf. No specific locality is shown on such a map. Denmark has been clearly excluded, in my interpretation of the answers. I just thought of a place that I can't believe I didn't think of before: the...

I want it to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he won an Emmy.
He is also a famous politician, but I checked anyway a few minutes ago and he is not from the small part of Austria that hasn't been eliminated yet.

No.

I thought of that as well, but Italy is out due to being dark blue.
Ah, right

Re: Twenty questions, round 260

Born in Western Europe? (Green box in Wikipedia?) Clarification needed: there is no green box on the Wikipedia article for Western Europe. You're right. Clarification: Born in the area marked as dark-blue on the Wikipedia file File:Europe-blocs-49-89x4.svg? From the file, it's ambiguous whether Spa...

King, prince, or having another medieval noble title? (ie, duke, count, but NOT general)
No.
This eliminates a lot of people, like for example Horatio Nelson.

Three and a half minutes of totality here, near Indianapolis. It rocked. We watched in our driveway. We saw the 2017 one also in Illinois and I was surprised at how different they were.
Were you not in the path of totality in 2017?
