Twenty Questions - Game 171

[Hominidae]

Just adding one thing Jamie missed.

1.5 Born in the North-Western quadrant of the globe.
2.3.6.7. Living white man whose first language is English.
4. Not a political figure.
8. Known as an actor, writer, or athlete, although this may be slightly ambiguous.

[damo666]

Born before Jan 1st 1975?

[cdngooner]

That question about Western Hemisphere (longitudinally) could be misleading. Our person could still be from most of England and all of Ireland.

So I'll ask it: born in North America?

[Spartaculous]

Born before Jan 1st 1975?

Yes.

So I'll ask it: born in North America?

Yes.

After a bit of research, it looks like the answer is no.

1.5.9. Born in the North-Western quadrant of the globe, before January 1, 1975.
2.3.6.7. Living white man whose first language is English.
4. Not a political figure.
8. Known as an actor, writer, or athlete, although this may be slightly ambiguous.
10. Born in North America.
11. Born in the Midwest, South, or West, by current US Census definitions.
12. Not a musician who has released at least one album (but it took "a bit of research" to determine this).

I think we can eliminate Hawaii and some of the Aleutian Islands due to the North America requirement and the hemisphere requirement.

[Jamiet99uk]

Is he known as the host of a TV programme?

[Hominidae]

Won a Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or Tony, or nominated for any of the last four?

[cdngooner]

I think he must be "known as an actor, writer, or athlete" and something else. Otherwise why would the answer be misleading?

Damn! I was just trying to work out how I was ever going to pick through the list of famous people from the Aleutian Islands.

[cdngooner]

Born January 1, 1925 or after?

[Hominidae]

Primarily known as an athlete or actor?

(Feel free to give the same qualified answer as before. I'm trying to narrow things down.)

[damo666]

born before 1955?

[Jamiet99uk]

Born January 1, 1925 or after?

Do you have a reason for thinking our target might be over 99 years old?

[damo666]

Born January 1, 1925 or after?

This is not going to eliminate many people lol

[cdngooner]
