Re: 2²·5 Questions: Game 2·3·5·7
Based on Question 9 and other answers, I think we can now be quite confident that the author is French.

Re: 2²·5 Questions: Game 2·3·5·7
I would agree with this. Free hint: the character is much, much, much more famous than the author.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:25 pmI think that's enough questions about the author's date of birth btw. chaps.

Re: 2²·5 Questions: Game 2·3·5·7
Yep; agreed. Getting the 1835-1899 time period nixed rules out a *lot* of authors.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:25 pmI think that's enough questions about the author's date of birth btw. chaps.

Re: 2²·5 Questions: Game 2·3·5·7
I actually am starting to suspect that this is might not be the case: the first appearance of the character may have been in a non-novel book. Hominidae has given us Humpty Dumpty before, for example.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:27 pmBased on Question 9 and other answers, I think we can now be quite confident that the author is French.
