Re: Twenty Questions game 92
Is it a living person who is a native English speaker?
The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
Did she achieve fame before the age of 18?

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
Difficult to answer. Not fame in her own right [a la Shirley Temple] but her existence would be known about more than the woman on the Clapham Omnibus [a la Soon Yi Previn].
It would be wrong to answer 'yes' but a flat 'no' could be construed as misleading.

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
So, Damo, was this person's mother AND father both famous before THEY also became famous?

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
Yes. One arguably more famous than the other. Both have a wikipedia article. Should be easy now ....Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:43 amSo, Damo, was this person's mother AND father both famous before THEY also became famous?

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
So for some reason, my mind flashed back to the film, "Excalibur," when the evil little girl says eerily to Merlin after Arthur's birth, "Are you the mother AND father for the baby, now?"Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:43 amSo, Damo, was this person's mother AND father both famous before THEY also became famous?

Re: Twenty Questions game 92
No, this is not another quibbling geography question.
Was this person royalty/member of a noble or aristocratic family?
I feel like this is implied by the famous parents but there are multiple interpretations.

Agreed, that's the first thing I thought of too and thought "what the hell" and took a crazy shot with Anastasia.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 2:15 pmThis is a good question in this context, I would also have asked.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 2:12 pmNo, this is not another quibbling geography question.
