Make your last questions count, but I think some of you might be getting closer to discovering the identity of our mystery man.

 

No, I don't think we are...

Was this man born in times that could be considered 'ancient'?

 

did he work with the law?

 

Round 5 Answers

Was this man born in times that could be considered 'ancient'?

No, he was born in the last millennium.

Was he murdered?

No

did he work with the law?

Hmm...this one is tough. He wasn't a member of a government, but he helped them a great deal.


We are still 2 questions short, so if I can get two of you to each ask a question hopefully someone will be able to figure it out. Honestly I didn't think this person would be that difficult to identify.

 

Was he a scientist* or researcher?

*Or medieval equivalent.

 

Round 5 Answers (Part 2)

Was he a criminal?

He is not famed for being a criminal, and its a little known fact about him. But he was accused of some crimes later in life.

Was he a scientist* or researcher?

He wasn't a scientist but he had to use a great deal for his job. As far as researching goes, he did a great deal of it, but it also wasn't his primary role.

So in summary our mystery person is male, was a real person, has been potrayed in movies before, and has nothing to do with Star Wars. He lived before the 1700?s, but still lived sometime during the last millenium. He wasn?t a musician, American, politician, member of a royal family, and didn?t serve in the military. He was a leader, had a family, and he was from Europe. He also wasn?t a religious leader, and no members of his family were really as famous as he is. This man assisted his government a great deal, he wasn?t murdered, but he did use a great deal of science and research in his work without being a scientist. And finally he wasn?t a criminal exactly, but he was accused of some crimes later in life. Who is he?

Congratulations to Jag4Me for correctly guessing that the mystery man was Christopher Columbus.

Enjoy your 24 hours of colors!

 

Congrats, Connie!!

 

Harry Potter 20Q sounds very interesting, maybe sometime we can have a round of it. And I apologize for how hard the last game was, I seriously didn't think Christopher Columbus would be too difficult. But its something for me to consider for the next game.
