What time is it now?

Oh, I see.
I meant in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Half an hour left.

Great, interesting choice. Sorry we needed so many hints to get it.

Next thread will be up soon.

That's normal. I learned about TempleOS from a collegue not long ago. I immediately decided that he could be a good 20Q candidate with unique fame.

Sorry Yavu but picking someone vaguely known to a handful of computer programmers is not really fair.

Vecna by comparison is a mainstream celebrity.

FORMAL OBJECTION

"Terry Davis" is not a well-known person and falls below the standard required for a target person in this game.

While I had never heard of Terry Davis before (that I remember, at least), he seems quite notable, judging at least by the length of his Wikipedia article, a quite interesting read which I doubt I would have stumbled upon on my own.

Wouldn't the game be boring if the picks were all Miley Cyrus anyway?

P.S. I'm not really sure if I'd heard of Vecna before either.

I had never heard of Terry Davis or Vecna. Now I have heard of both! :)

while I also have not heard of this 'Terry Davis', Vecna is a fictional character, not a celebrity
unless you count whatever actor was Vecna in Stranger Things because apparently the show's writers were seriously low on original ideas

Vecna was a good pick. Yet, Terry Davis is still more popular than some of the other picks. There has been numerous cases where I didn't know the pick prior to the game.

I wonder how many of the last 100 games you knew the pick.
