Twenty questions, round 319

[DreamTrawler]

Primarily famous for 1) athletics, or 2) visual, performing, or literary arts (the latter including writing generally), or 3) both?

If the answer to my question ends up being "no", I'm interested to know if this is being interpreted by the QM as encompassing all "arts" as usually defined in these games, or if there are arts that are neither visual nor performing nor literary.

Being a composer would be none of those I suppose

But composing is generally done with the intent that someone will perform it, so I think it falls under performing arts.

Maybe someone could create a work of art that's only intended to be touched and not seen.

[JECE]

Murdered before age 3, didgeridoo artist or born in Europe, as defined by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River and the Caucasus Mountains and the Western notion counting people's age?

Missed this question!

I could see music composition falling outside of those categories depending on how the QM defines it. Other possibilities - culinary arts, architecture, game design? This is giving me ideas...

The intention was to exclude “invention (Rubik’s cube) as an art” and similar but I guess someone could still say that making a toy is a visual art.

Missed this question!

The dream scenario is it's yes to born in Europe, no to Indo-European, yes to Catholic, and then we all pull up Wikipedia "list of Hungarian Catholics" or something like that.

[Spartaculous]

Murdered before age 3, didgeridoo artist or born in Europe, as defined by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River and the Caucasus Mountains and the Western notion counting people's age?

Edit:
Withdraw the previous question and replace with this if not born in Eurasia:

Murdered before age 3, didgeridoo artist or born in America, the continent?

Sorry - I thought the question was being scratched (I read the edit too quickly). Yes to the original question.

Will answer the rest in a bit.

From the Julia Child round: she was named to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her work was classified as a visual art by them.

Yes.

[Hominidae]

Born in 1719 or later?

[Spartaculous]

Primarily famous for being a religious leader, theologian, philosopher, scientist, mathematician, historian, and/or inventor?

I was reflecting on the fact that the words "Is this person" were likely missing from this question: DreamTrawler probably meant "Is this person primarily famous for...".

Then, I realized that the answer to this amended question would depend on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

Anyways: I think that "Yes." is the best answer to this question.

[Spartaculous]

Born in 1719 or later?

No.

[damo666]

Born in England?

If yes => free guess Isaac Newton?

If no => Born in Scotland?

Little lost here. I assume those two sentences would mean the same thing? Just like “Was this person born in X?” vs “Born in X?” What did you mean by the definition of the word “is”?
