I am male. The numbered answers to DQs will be directly descriptive.
Good questions.
Yes, you must name who you had in mind if you stump me with an IQ.
You may ask the same kind of indirect question, and you may repeat a category. However, you can’t ask twice about the same individual (if the letter was W, for instance, you couldn’t ask both, “Were you the first President of the U.S.?” and “Was your house called Mount Vernon?”).
No, I’m not Heraclitus.
- Born after 100 BCE.
- Male.
- Not the leader/monarch of a nation or empire.
PLEASE NOTE: My answer to #1 has changed. Sorry - mental glitch. Honestly, don’t read any more into it than that.
Would you let the jackass bray?
Were you an acclaimed poet of Rome?
Very well, then.
IQ: Are you a composer?
Dunno as to each of these. You may ask DQs.
No, I’m not Henry Mancini.
The more specific an IQ you ask, the better for you.
Horace.
Are you American?
Harry Bellafonte.
Are you alive?
Could we use a man like you again?
No, I’m not Harry Truman.
Please be sure to designate each question as an IQ or DQ.
- Born after 100 BCE
- Male
- Not the leader/monarch of a nation or empire
- American
- Dead
Interesting. So 1 is effectively changed to born after 1776.
IQ: Did you have the White House wired for electricity?
IQ: Were you one of Les Six?
IQ: Did you help the CIA to recover a Soviet submarine?
(NB: I’ll be back tomorrow evening.)
IQ: Did you lose half your hand in a pyrotechnic mishap?
Did you stand 6-foot-3 and 3/4 inches tall, wear a size 7 fedora and size 4.7 x 9.4 x 3 inch Kleenex boxes?
The OP has indirectly answered a query I had, which was are they allowed to answer IQs with people whose first names begin with the chosen letter.
IQ: Are you an Austrian goalkeeper who has played in the English Premier League?
Having played both versions of this game, I think I prefer the one where you name both initials, and all IQs also have to fit both initials, with the proviso that you allow both questioners and the chooser to research their questions and answers (it becomes too difficult otherwise). That makes for more possible games, and requires more guile in constructing questions - you have to do so in such a way that it is difficult for the chooser to Google the answer, but so that the question still clearly refers to one person - if you know of that person.
No, I’m not Benjamin Harrison.
