Re: 20Q: G197
No.
Since we're so close to the end I will let you know that while she has certainly done some acting, what she is most famous for can't be called acting except maybe in a very broad sense.
Re: 20Q: G197
1,2,3,4. Real living human who isn't male
5,6,9. Born in 1984 or later, in a country where English is the predominant language
7,8,12. Not well-known for writing, or for contributions in math(s), computer science, physics, biology, or chemistry
10. US citizen
11. No e in first name
13,14,16,17. Entertainer (broadly speaking), actress, but not an Oscar nominee.
15. Never participated in the Olympics.
Passed questions
Best known for contributions/achievements in STEM?
Free hints: the STEM question was passed NOT because of the phrase "best known", and while she has done some acting, her main source of fame is not really acting.

Re: 20Q: G197
also, something I've been wondering, has there ever been a game that has ended without a correct guess?

Yes, if you look at the history in the OP there are some that are labeled as "not guessed" with the most recent being Ann Jones.

(Except kingofthepirates because of the two in a row rule--you'll have to wait until someone else has asked the twentieth question.)

Re: 20Q: G197
I believe I can throw out my free guess once someone else uses theirs as well (that is how i understand rule 6, please correct me if wrong)?

Re: 20Q: G197
I'd vote to allow our pirate king to make a free guess once someone else makes a free guess - I think the spirit is to prevent someone from asking two questions and then guessing in quick succession, which is avoided by having someone else guess.
Re: 20Q: G197
You're right, sorry. I wasn't thinking that through.kingofthepirates wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 1:56 amI believe I can throw out my free guess once someone else uses theirs as well (that is how i understand rule 6, please correct me if wrong)?
Either way, I'll give people some time for some guesses before I answer Question #20.

Re: 20Q: G197
I would like to throw this out for consideration (random thoughts running through my head, maybe something that can help someone...): perhaps the passed STEM question relates to what the person is most known for? Like a person who may have written or otherwise helped publish a major STEM-related text book, but didn't do any actual research themselves? of course, a writer is incorrect, but perhaps something similar?
something like this could potentially illicit a pass; they are known for the book, a major contribution, but since they never added anything of substance to it, perhaps there's a gray area? and it could go with the other answers; they themselves did not contribute anything to those STEM fields.

Re: 20Q: G197
Here is my contribution: I was browsing some lists of people born after 1999, and ended up very nearly guessing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_Eyeing_Chloe. This would have mostly been because it would have been hilarious, but she checks nearly all of the boxes: age, US citizen, seems to have had a minor acting career. Would being subject of a meme take care of the "T" in "STEM"?kingofthepirates wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 2:07 amI would like to throw this out for consideration (random thoughts running through my head, maybe something that can help someone...): perhaps the passed STEM question relates to what the person is most known for?

The only thing that stops me from guessing her is, of course, the "e" in her first name.

Re: 20Q: G197
interesting idea! I'd like to also throw out for consideration the topic of activism. It is possible that our mystery person has previously advocated for various aspects of STEM/STEM participation, and is known in that regard?Spartaculous wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 2:31 amHere is my contribution: I was browsing some lists of people born after 1999, and ended up very nearly guessing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_Eyeing_Chloe.
