Is she a journalist/news anchor/commentator?
I will not count this as a question but you are correct, this rules out any elected officeaardvarkarmy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 1:42 pmVery interesting.

If she is not an author, singer, actress, government/elected official, then our challenge is: what other fields of endeavor can bring some measure of fame?
My next try is:
Is/was she an athlete?
Not strictly true. The rule is that if you throw a dart out of the window at least 50% of the people you hit should know who they are. Now if you took a literal interpretation of this rule you could argue that the chances of hitting anyone with a dart out of the window are very small indeed (why not try this experiment at home, kids?), so no one in fact actually needs to know them. But an interpretation more in keeping of the spirit of the rule is surely that the 50% public awareness level can be rather local, and that it is perfectly valid for an American to choose someone well known in America but more obscure elsewhere.aardvarkarmy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 4:02 pmWell, the core rules are that at least 50% of people must know of her, so moderately well-known...
Well, of course. There probably aren't 5 names that are known to 50% of the world population! But known by half of USA, or half of the EU or half of the Commonwealth etc still means pretty dang well knownOctavious wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 6:18 pmNot strictly true.
