HKF: I am younger than 50. Ms. Porpentine: I am an actress. (Also, b/c half the fun is me learning things, please give me a little more on your connection. I’m not sure who Michael Collins is, other than that Irish guy they made a movie about (with Liam Neeson) a few years back.) **MC is** :[ul] [li] **not male** [/li][li] **not American** [/li][li] **is alive** [/li][li] **is not Eurpoean** [/li][li] **is an entertainer** [/li][li] **not best known for being a musician** [/li][li] **is younger than 50** [/li][li] **is an actress** [/li][/ul] ---

The Michael Collins I meant was the third member of the Apollo 11 crew, the one who stayed circling the moon when Armstrong and Aldrin landed. :smack: Also, I totally missed the fact that you were female. Thanks for answering the spirit of my question and not the letter. ---

[QUOTE=Fretful Porpentine] :smack: Also, I totally missed the fact that you were female. Thanks for answering the spirit of my question and not the letter. [/QUOTE] I don’t think anyone responded to this yet. The indirect questions don’t have to match the criteria that have been determined i.e., doesn’t have to be a female. The game bogs down fast if the Indirect Questions are too restricted. This came up in some earlier games. ---

I think her point was I could have pedantically said “no, I am not an actor” and thus been a bit misleading. (But today even actressess call themselves actors, and I’m not going to be pedantic in any event.) ---
