Botticelli, Round 16

Antoine Lavoisier.

Were you married to a famous person?

  • I was not alive in the 20th century
  • I am female
  • I am not fictional
  • I am not American

That was Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter (and a pioneer of computer science in her own right)

Direct question: Are you European?

  • I was not alive in the 20th century
  • I am female
  • I am not fictional
  • I am not American
  • I was not married to a famous person*
  • I was married though

Ah. This is a bit :o !

I am Ada Lovelace!

(I knew I was Byron’s daughter, but not that he wrote Don Juan … :eek: )

Good job, astorian! Game over.

Yes.

Liddell, actually, but you were correct on the identification. Is “Chuck” not used as a nickname in Britain? During the Royal Wedding hullabaloo (yes, it extended to the erstwhile “Colonies”) of 1981, references to “Chuck and Di” were common in gossip columns and tabloid headlines.

I always thought that was just for the sake of being able to make the toast “Drink up, Chuck and Di.”
