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.
