There’s a reason why it was hard for me to answer #14, why I was looking for the specifics in how the input question was phrased in order to evaluate the truth of it.

… and I’m not Ryan White, sorry for missing the D vs I on the question, hehe
I’m guessing Tim’s mystery guest has a criminal background, but the event for which he is known is not a crime. I still haven’t a clue though.
DQ: Known for military service?
IQ1: Are you a Welsh fighter pilot who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
IQ2: Did you write The Jungle Book in 1894?
IQ3: Are you a British philosopher who served 6 months in jail for lecturing against the US entering WWI?

I’m not Roald Dahl or Rudyard Kipling, and DQ.
Congratulations on a real puzzler, Tim!
[I have no clue…]
Bertrand Russell
All these no answers. Maybe this guy was noted for falling off the grid.
In addition to not committing any crimes during the event, there’s no record I can find of our guest ever committing a crime.
I did the best I could with 13 and 14. My judgement was that answering yes to question 14 would have been more deceptive than answering no was, but there’s a reason I agonized over that response.
IQ1: Are you the founder of Virgin Galactic, a space tourism industry?
IQ2: Are you the subject of the joke “What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and” you? (Answer; Michael Jackson got burned while doing Pepsi, you got burned while doing coke.)
IQ3: Were your remains discovered in 2012 in a car centre lot?
I’m not Richard Branson, or Richard Pryor?, and DQ
DQ: Known as a Boorstin-defined celebrity (“someone who is famous for being famous”)?

This was made clear when I received a formal letter from a federal US attorney announcing that I was not the subject of any criminal investigation. - Not known for breaking a record of some kind
- First name starts with R
- Not known for business
- Not known for a discovery or invention
- Not known for military service
- Not famous for being famous
… and that’s 20!
In addition to the bit I added above to #14, let me also mention that there’s a biopic of me currently under development, with A-list names attached.
You all know the drill, Prof. Pepperwinkle, Knowed Out, Elendil’s Heir, and SCAdian all receive one last DQ of the form are you Firstname Lastname.
Pass. I have no idea.
Also drawing a blank. Think think think…
That addition to #14 sounds familiar, but…
