Re: Twenty Questions 535
1. Real human
4,5,6,7,9,11. Born before 535 AD, but after 501 BC, and not during the Western Han period (202 BC - 9 AD)
12,13. Born in Europe, but not in what is now Italy
3. Not female
10. Not of Greek origin
8. Primarily known for science/mathematics
2. It is unlikely that this person ever studied chemistry as part of their education (if they had one)

Does this person have a French language Wikipedia page that's dedicated for the person? (A rule named after him doesn't count.)

Re: Twenty Questions 535
Is this person commonly listed as a Greek mathematician while actually having a different origin?

The only guesses I could come up with were Greek, though some of them lived outside of Greece.Ernst_Brenner wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 12:19 pmIs this person commonly listed as a Greek mathematician while actually having a different origin?

Re: Twenty Questions 535
You are correct! The guy who (incorrectly) calculated Jesus's birth year and is therefore the reason why we now say that it's 2025 or whatever year. When I started this game I wasn't sure how I would categorize his source of fame, but "mathematics" is spot-on. I am curious as to how you figured this one out.
