Twenty Questions Game 376

[DreamTrawler]

Borris Johnson is my free guess

Great guess, but unfortunately Round 282 was already Boris Johnson. Glad to see you in 20Q again though

[miminena]

Borris Johnson is my free guess

Not Boris Johnson

[miminena]

Borris Johnson is my free guess

Not Boris Johnson

But I will refund the free guess if you want to use it on account of what DreamTrawler noted

[FlaviusAetius]

hmm OK

[FlaviusAetius]

Clarification;

14,15,17. Held elected office or ran for elected office, but hasn't served in the US House of Representatives or Senate, or as a governor of a US state or territory

Does this mean they NO longer hold that office? (if they ended up winning)

It does not. This person may or may not currently be in office.

(not a guess)

There’s no way it’s Trump, right? He’s definitely been in the news in the last year.

I feel like it must be some other notable dark horse candidate though. Cornel West doesn’t fit the birthplace but idk

It cannot be Trump because of the answer to Question 11.

[FlaviusAetius]

Is this person a mayor?
If so Eric Adams

[Hominidae]

Is this person a mayor?
If so Eric Adams

Remember, conditional questions and guesses aren't allowed anymore. You can either use your free guess on Eric Adams, use the twentieth question on "Is this person a mayor?" and then use one of the five remaining guesses on Eric Adams.

That said, isn't Eric Adams primarily famous for politics? Or is his fame as a police officer enough to warrant a pass?

[FlaviusAetius]

oh then scratch

[FlaviusAetius]

why say this person cant be famous from politics? which one says that is wrong?

[Hominidae]

why say this person cant be famous from politics? which one says that is wrong?

The "primarily famous for arts or politics" question was passed.

[FlaviusAetius]

The "primarily famous for arts or politics" question was passed.

who knows why tho

If Eric Adams, or say, Bill Clinton or Paul Ryan was the answer, then the answer to that question would have been "yes", not "pass".

Presumably someone substantially famous for politics and law enforcement would be ruled out by the non-pass to the “famous for government position aside from his elected one” answer to Q19.

Edit: this would also presumably rule out someone like Pete Buttigieg or Marty Walsh who are Mayor/Cabinet combos. (Neither fit the age range either)

[miminena]

oh then scratch

Is this scratching the question and the guess or just the guess?

scratching it all gotta go back to the drawing board

Not an official question but one for the team.

Is it worth asking if the person was famous before running for office or are we just assuming that?

I suppose they could have become famous for something else after running for office but this seems unlikely.

The other attack could be to try a question narrowing down primary source of fame which we know is not arts/sports/writing.

Thoughts?

Or crime, military, sciences, family.

[damo666]
