Boromir's guess the famous game #219 - Annie Edson Taylor - nyctc7 wins


1. I'm thinking of some famous person, it can be a film actor, a philosopher, a president, a prime minister, a singer, fictional character, mafia man etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 1 guess per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.

Excellent.

I had been scratching my head over the "not exactly" entertainer answer, trying to think of what sort of thing is entertainer-adjacent. I guess daredevil qualifies (even if she wasn't doing it with the aim of causing entertainment; apparently she wanted to win money so she'd be secure in her old age).

reply

I'd say a daredevil can be an entertainer (like Evel Knievel) but for her it was a one-time stunt. So she's not an entertainer by trade.

reply

Yeah, good point.

reply

Wow, well done.
