I know which Famous person is plotting your immediate demise. Rest assured, your demise is near. They have been given a box, and if they press the button, it’s a one way ticket to deadsville for you.I will answer questions until someone guessed the correct person. If you guess incorrectly, the box is removed from them and given to another famous person. but it is still you who will be the recipient of the sword of damocles dangling over your head. Now, ask smart questions. ---
