I asked, “Would be alive today, if real?” and you answered, “Did not die in character.” However, a character who did not die by the end of a movie set in 1705 would still be dead today. Previous IQs: Have you played a murderous alien, a Russian spy, an AI and a bored woman in a foreign hotel, among other roles? - Scarlett Johansson, in _Under the Skin, The Avengers, Her_ and _Lost in Translation_. Are you the PM of the UK? - Yes, Boris Johnson Are you his brother, recently resigned from the Cabinet? - Jo Johnson DQs: American? Considered a “good guy”? IQs: Are you Baroness Haden-Guest? Did you have the most famous early sex-change operation? Are you the heroine of _Aladdin_? ---

Swept my latest three IQs. > [@atimnie](#): > > _However, a character who did not die by the end of a movie set in 1705 would still be dead today._ > Not necessarily, the character could be immortal, like ghosts or spirits. That was not a clue, just an explanation… A character from 1705 who is “Not sci-fi/fantasy,” as you just told us, would not still be alive. Do I have to ask the exact same question again? IQs: Were you one of Lincoln’s two personal aides? Were you the other? Were you a Civil War governor of Ohio? ---

_A character from 1705 who is “Not sci-fi/fantasy,” as you just told us, would not still be alive. Do I have to ask the exact same question again?_ It was a poorly worded question. A better question would have been, what time frame does the character occupy? That’s basically what you were going for, right? Oh, and take three DQs. ---
