I’m sorry, but I still don’t think you’re grasping the difference between Indirect Questions (IQs) and Direct Questions (DQs), **etv78**. For IQs, you have to say, “No, I’m not [name],” supplying the name of someone who fits the parameters of the question but isn’t who the other person is thinking of. If you can’t, say so. For DQs, which are earned when someone stumps you with an IQ, you have to answer Y/N. > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > IQ: Were you once told you couldn’t use a phone which you were actually entitled to use? John F. Kennedy, as a very young-looking Congressman, was told by a Capitol Hill police officer that he couldn’t use a phone reserved for Members of Congress. Here’s what we have so far, right? 1. A real person 2. Born in the 20th century 3. Female 4. Born in the U.S. 5. Alive in 2011 6. Not involved in politics 7. Not an athlete 8. Not an author 9. Only cursorily involved in the “arts” 10. Has appeared in film/TV before but it is not my bread and butter 11. “J” is my first initial 12. Not a scientist 13. Not a religious figure 14. Not a singer 15. Under age 50 16. Unmarried, but “taken” 17. Supermodel I don’t know my current supermodels all that well. Any suggestions? ---
