I’m gonna have to recuse myself. While confirming some info for an IQ, I stumbled across what I’m almost certain is the answer. It was in the disambiguation page in Wikipedia for what I was checking on.
Thanks for letting us know, CFOHG. Our rule, as I understood it, is that no one may do any research except the Gamemaster, and then only to confirm that an answer he or she is about to give is correct.
That’s the way we’ve always played it. Sorry.
EH, it looks as though you’re alone playing this round.
