20 Questions - 6 Score and Akker - Multiball Madness

[Octavious]

John Hancock?

I did consider him as one of the four.... but no

[han-shahanshah]

So we have four people!

A: Confederate general in American Civil War, college educated, imprisoned during or after the war.

B: American Revolution figure, in government after independence, “in legal trouble for expressing political views”

C: Late and lamented 20th century scientist, US citizen who held government/military position but is better known for research or hypotheses.

D: Female, the only European of the lot, died an unnatural death before 1900
We have no idea what she did.

han attempts to squeeze more info out of the question master by making some blatant assumptions and gambling on the question master being unable to resist correcting them. han is as subtle as a brick and not half as cunning as he thinks he is... but everyone loves a trier so....

A) Pretty major error here

B) One could argue confidently that everyone on the side of the uprising in the 1770s were in legal trouble for expressing political views... but as a little bit of assistance I can tell you that a war related legal controversy is likely why you will have heard of them

C) Kind of... science... engineering... same ballpark really

D) But you've already stated everything she did that she's famous for

Right, now that I've practically given you the answers I fully expect some correct guesses by the end of the day!

Thomas Jefferson?

[Jamiet99uk]

NOT an official question but can someone tell me how many questions we have left?

[Octavious]

You've asked 18 by my count, but as one of them was gratis you're on 17

[Octavious]

Thomas Jefferson?

Nope

[damo666]

Thomas Jefferson?

Nope

Game 21 so invalid guess anyway

[damo666]

I would be very surprised if you guessed the connection prior to guessing at least one person

Do their names have something in common?

[Octavious]

Hmmm... Am I counting that as a formal question or not?

Let's say that questions on the nature of the connection will count as questions in future, but on this occasion not.

The answer is yes

[Trigfea63]

Is D Marie Antoinette?

[Octavious]

Is D Marie Antoinette?

Nope

[han-shahanshah]

D may be Charlotte Corday, off a wild guess.

However with the name connection B could be John Jay.

[Octavious]

Good effort!

But no

[Trigfea63]

How about this ...

B = Aaron Burr

D = Anne Boleyn

Others also have initials A.B.?

[Octavious]

Nah

[Trigfea63]

Darn, I had myself convinced ...

[Octavious]

That's life for you... if you can guess wrong, you will guess wrong

[damo666]

D may be Charlotte Corday, off a wild guess.

However with the name connection B could be John Jay.

I think this may be a hint we are looking for NN names
