Also Eswatini (Swaziland) and Namibia. Depending on how the QM interprets "Africa", Mauritius and Réunion are in play as well (I would personally count those as being part of Africa).Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 11:18 pmSo we know this person is from a place which today would be in:

Re: Twentyquestions: the 240th game
Is this person from a country where the official language, or one of the main official languages, is English?

Assuming that "from" means "born in", my read is that our list of birth countries is down to:Hominidae wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 12:15 amYes.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 11:54 pmIs this person from a country where the official language, or one of the main official languages, is English?

Re: Twentyquestions: the 240th game
Some recent QMs have made some sneaky picks (where a person will be born in one place but will be famous for doing something somewhere else). So, I'm going to spend a question to check the following:
Is this individual most famous for governmental, political, or military activity located in one of the eight countries in my previous post?

Re: Twentyquestions: the 240th game
It's always fun to have a pick who no one had ever heard of until about a week ago. (Also, I think we, as a group, did quite well in our questioning this round.)
Next round up imminently.

Yeah, some very quick geographic narrowing, and also you asked the critical question to avoid getting bogged down in Zambian politics.Spartaculous wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 2:29 amIt's always fun to have a pick who no one had ever heard of until about a week ago.
