Thread Games
501

Well, I think that’s over and done with anyway. Do as you please.

How about:

IQ:

Are you a British actress who has played a princess, a spy, a kidnapping victim and a well-armed fairytale character?

502

Reinterpreting EH’s third IQ as “Were you the father of a person I mistakenly thought had been a Cub Scout on a certain date?”, and answering his second DQ:


G

1. Real
2. Female
3. First name begins with G
4. Living
5. Known for the Arts
6. Not American
7. Born after 1970
8. Born after 1990
9. European
10. Known primarily for Acting
11. Not famous before the year 2000
12. From the British Isles
13. Known for television
14. English
15. Best known for movies
16. White
17. Famous before 2010
18. Primarily known for one single role
19. First name starts with GA -to- GH
20. Best known from a series of movies
21. Could be considered a beauty
22. Movies were in a genre (sf, fantasy, crime, etc.)
23. A main character


I believe Chock has one remaining DQ, and DLR has two.

503

IQ:

Are you a British actress who has played a princess, a spy, a kidnapping victim and a well-armed fairytale character?

504

I recognize her face, but didn’t know her name or that she was British.

505

Final DQs:
1. last name begins from A-M?
2. appeared in a Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts movie?

506

Last DQ: Movies adapted from a Young Adult (YA)/children’s book(s)?

507

To save time, I’m going to accept EH’s last IQ as a replacement for his faulty one, say “DQ”, and answer his remaining DQ from before.

So. Please ask your final “Firstname Lastname” DQs not later than noon EDT tomorrow (Mon 27 Mar).

Though I expect someone will ask the right question within the next hour or two…

508

I’m guessing it’s the actress for either Susan or Lucy Pevensie in the Narnia films. Unfortunately I don’t know any of the child actor names.

Harry Potter is explicitly ruled out by #25. Most of the other YA film series are either American-made (Twilight, Percy Jackson) or the wrong time frame after 2010 (Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner) or stalled after one film (His Dark Materials was British, Lemony Snicket) so not a series. Narnia is the only one left that I can think of that isn’t ruled out by a DQ answer.

509

I’ve seen the first Narnia movie a half-dozen times, ‘cause my grandson loved it so. I remember Lucy’s actresses’ name being similar to the romance novelist Georgette Heyer, but that’s all.

510

I am Georgie Henley, who played Lucy in the Narnia films.

You may claim victory if you wish.

511

As I see it, either Prof. Peppenwinkle’s guess was close enough for the win, so he goes next, or else no one knew the name of the actress in question so by default it goes back to Prof. Peppenwinkle.

So either way, I think you’re up next professor. Congratulations!

512

No one remembered the name, not no one knew it.

513

Exactly. I’ve seen the movie, but couldn’t quite remember her name.

So, that means SCAdian goes again.

514

Right-oh.

I am
