For me as the question setter: is this a normal amount of information to have after 12 questions or should I do a hint already?

Re: 20 Questions game 166
So now I think we know it's a non-British EU born living woman known for music.Spartaculous wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 9:06 pmOkay, so we know this is a living woman, known for music or acting, who was born in Eurasia, but not in China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, or India.

Re: 20 Questions game 166
Was she born in (what is today) one of the founding members of the European Union (in 1993)?
Re: 20 Questions game 166
Yellow: modern countries she could be born in if the answer to Spartaculous's question is Yes
Blue: modern countries she could be born in if the answer to Spartaculous's question is No

Re: 20 Questions game 166
What does the “what is today” clause mean? For example if the answer to question 14 would be yes, what would the answer be for someone born in the BRD or DDR?Spartaculous wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 9:15 pmWas she born in (what is today) one of the founding members of the European Union (in 1993)?

Re: 20 Questions game 166
Thanks for asking for clarification. If she was born in, say, Hamburg, then I want you to answer based off of the fact that Hamburg is currently in (unified) Germany.modderpoel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:03 pmWhat does the “what is today” clause mean?

If the person was Angela Merkel, the answer to my question should be "Yes.".

Re: 20 Questions game 166
Why are the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark, France and Germany not yellow on that map?
This is my potato. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My potato is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my potato is useless. Without my potato, I am useless.

Re: 20 Questions game 166
I'm guessing this has to do with my answer to question 14Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:31 pmWhy are the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark, France and Germany not yellow on that map?
Re: 20 Questions game 166
Yes, although in retrospect the UK should have still been yellow because you can be born there without being "British". That said, it has now been eliminated due to being a founding member of the EU.modderpoel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:48 pmI'm guessing this has to do with my answer to question 14Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:31 pmWhy are the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark, France and Germany not yellow on that map?
