Anybody want to play 20 questions?

The Game Room
41
  1. Yes.
42

Pee Wee Herman, jerkin’ himself off in a porn theater?

43

Did the person die within the last 20 years?

44
  1. No. Paul Reubens isn’t dead, is he?
45
  1. No.
46

OK, to summarize, we have a American male who died more than 20 yrs ago.

Could we read about this person in a mainstream US history educational book? (Someone like Elvis would not be in in my definition of a mainstream history book.)

47
  1. Yes.

Although I think Elvis, given his impact on pop culture and music, would be in a mainstream U.S. history book nowadays (in any event, Elvis is not the answer to this particular game).

48

Is this person most known for the invention of something?

49
  1. No
50

Was this person a political figure?

51
  1. Yes
52

Does this person’s picture appear on any United States Currency?

53
  1. Good question! But no.
54

To summarize, we got a male political person who died more than 20 yrs ago, and is not on any US Currency.

Was this guy’s most notable accomplishments in the 20th century?

55

Was this person famous as a public official (e.g., held public office, military, etc. as opposed to a media personality or activist)?

56
  1. Yes
57
  1. Yes
58

Was this person’s official public capacity in an executive position of government (e.g., President, cabinet, governor, mayor)?

59

Crap, only 6 qs left.

OK, folks, we gotta gamble to cut to the chase. I suggest the following options for questioning topics:

Cut straight to Presidents?
State/federal/local govt.
Narrowing the time frame by death date or dates of public service
Elected, appointed, public employee?

Thoughts?

PS: The Pee Wee Herman q shouldn’t count. C’mon!
