The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

"I think this is the usual but not only way to answer this question"

i. e., she isn't real.

So we are on Question 20.

Team - do you think it's worth asking whether real? It's heavily hinted as fictional but we don't actually know that.

I think we know that. Otherwise why claim (in a peculiar way) that there might be some uncertainty about the DOB?

OK so assuming a fictional character written or set {1731-18111} who dies what's a good question?

Why didn't you tell us she wasn't real in question one?

Because they didn't understand the question. But honestly the question wasn't clear anyways.

Do you answer yes, because the story of the fictional character exists in our space-time continuum?

Or do you answer no, because they are a fictional character, and if they were to even be considered existing, then by force they would have to occupy a different space-time continuum?

We had an argument there and I admit I might have applied a too broad definition at first, but I thought Jamiet‘s not fantastic definition settled that.

Yeah, just replying to JECE. But I'll take this opportunity to explain it clearer:

Asking if someone exists in our space-time continuum is just a fancy way of asking if they were ever part of our dimension's timeline.

Real people occupy our space-time continuum because they were alive and existed at some point.

No matter the setting of the fiction, a fictional character would not exist in our space-time continuum, except as a story/action figure/etc.

The moral here is to just ask questions in an easy to understand manner. But we can definitively say that fictional characters are not part of our space-time continuum :P

Is it a fictional character that first appeared in the period {1731-1811}?

No

Five total guesses left.

I saw it more as an mathematical representation irrespective of the actual physics taking place in it.

So presumably it is a fictional character that regarless of when written/made was born {1731-1811} and dies and whose first language is romance but not Spanish or Portuguese.

Guess wisely. I haven't a clue.

Or it's a real and there will be a row.

It’s likely from an opera, but many Italian operas were set in France/Spain.
