None of that changes my answer.You misunderstand me. Based purely on your summary, the target person could have been born in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia (which voted for Trump in 2016, and Biden in 2020). However, they can't actually have been born in any of those states, because of my "Biden in 2020" question. Therefore, your summary excludes some information that we have already deduced.

Clarification: are you saying that this person might have been born in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia? Because if so, you should have answered "yes" to my Biden question.

Re: 20 Questions - Game 233
It’s worth considering some kind of trickery here, although I cannot figure out what it would be. The Electoral College still votes in December (the certification takes place in January, but the actual voting by the electors happens before then). The primaries also occurred in 2020 so the year is irrelevant there, although the questions if answered literally would limit the possible states to Iowa, North Dakota, and Utah.Hominidae wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 2:05 amClarification: are you saying that this person might have been born in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia?

I doubt it, given the way the QM's original summary was phrased.Aristocrat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 5:22 amIt’s worth considering some kind of trickery here, although I cannot figure out what it would be.

Anyway. Is this a person who is heavily associated with baseball?

Was this person born in 1885 or later?
Re: 20 Questions - Game 233
This isn't a clarification; its a question seeking additional information. So I won't answer it, assuming that you don't intend it to count toward the vote total.Clarification: are you saying that this person might have been born in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia?
I'm confident all questions were answered correctly.Because if so, you should have answered "yes" to my Biden question.
The summary is a service offered to players. Not all QM's provide one. If you want to create a different summary based on your interpretation of the answers, you are free to do so. It is the questions that are official, not the summaries.If not, that should be reflected in the summary.
If I might add, you are sending yourself deep down the wrong rabbit hole with questions about these elections. Our subject was born in a state that voted for Trump, and did not vote for Biden in 2020. Nothing could be clearer.
Exactly how many Americans were on that team, versus how many Canadians? Congratulations; your owner is American.GO VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS WE WON THE CUP BABYYYYYYYY
No.Was this person born in 1885 or later?
1,2,5. Real dead male human.
3,7,10. Born in the US; in a state that (a) voted for Trump, and (b) did not vote for Biden in 2020.
6,12.16. Born 1845-1884.
8. Died age 70 or older (1915-2024).
9,11,13,14. Primarily famous for sports; either baseball, or inventing, popularizing or developing a sport.
4. Not most famous for politics, military, film, TV.
15. "E" in full first name.
Re: 20 Questions - Game 233
That wasn't a question seekig additional information. It was a clarification because it had seemed like you were retconning information you had already given. However, you did re-add the information obtained by my question in your summary, so thank you for that.
Also you missed Aristocrat's baseball question.

Yes. Sorry for missing that in all the drivel about elections and a team of Canadians playing hockey in Las Vegas.Is this person primarily famous for playing baseball?

Re: 20 Questions - Game 233
Correct from Spartaculous! Cy Young; pitcher for the Boston Red Sox; 100 years later still the record holder for wins; two no-hitters and a perfect game; the Cy Young Trophy is awarded every year to the best pitcher in each of the National and American Leagues.I guess Denton True Young.
