[quote=“Prof.Pepperwinkle, post:123, topic:914747”] DQs: 1. Real 2. Female 3. Not American 4. First name starts with C 5. European 6. Not known for the Arts 7. Living 8. Born since 1950 9. Not political/military 10. From the British Isles 11. Born since 1975 12. English 13. Not a scientist/inventor 14. Royalty 15. Not known for social sciences or history 16. Caucasian 17. Born after 1990 18. Not known for sports. SCA, your question about whether or not she’s English is answered in #12 above. EH, I’ve called a stop to more IQs, since your 5 alone puts us over 20. If anyone wants to use a DQ as an “Are you…” question, that’s fine. I think it should be obvious who this is by now. ---
