YES
(don’t spoil or hint any further!). And good job for figuring it out. I think it would be fun for others to figure it out, too.
Was Vince an athlete?
NO
Did Vince become ill in some way?
Were there a lot of people saying that?
The people who heard that, were they more than 10?
More than 1000?
Is this an actual job, with remuneration, taxes and so on?
Everyone in a field or profession?
Everyone in all walks of life?
Did a particular event happen that day?
Did several events happen in the space of one day?
Was that change the fact that his career was over?
With ‘essentially’ you mean that there were still a few instances of Vince working after that day?
Was there some sort of scandal?
Did some sort of new information appear?
Did some larger event happen that made Vince obsolete?
NO
kk
The people who were no longer employing Vince - were they employing some other specific person instead?
Was Vince a previous record holder in some field, of for some personal attribute that he had?
The event that changed Vince’s life was:
A war?
The end of a war?
Geopolitical?
Medical?
Architectural?
Related to entertainment?
Related to transportation?
Related to Vince as a person?
**NO to both
**
NO, though if pressed into a choice, I would choose “geopolitical”.
Did people stop needing the work Vince performed?
Did they simply hire other people to do the job who were unavailable the day before?
Is it related to the Berlin Wall?
Was Vince an impersonator of someone who died/was disgraced/otherwise became uninteresting?
I thought of that one straight away, but didn’t think it could possibly apply until GAL confirmed he did still do some work.
Was Vince’s occupation:
Primary (farming, mining)?
Secondary (manufacturing)?
Tertiary (service industry)?
Quaternary (I+D)?
NO(to all)
But if it wasn’t related to entertainment… he was a double for a politician, for security reasons?
NO
And I was asked if the change was related to entertainment and said NO. That is correct.
Ah. Alright. So he was an entertainer.
Are you sure about this answer? It seems strange in light of this other response:
Is it true that only Vince was affected? No other similar impersonators were affected? Or was Vince the only person ever to impersonate this specific person?
Was Vince actually this person’s sibling? Identical Twin?
kk
The person that Vince impersonated, did they…
die?
become ill?
lose their job?
become disgraced?
lose the characteristic that made them interesting?
First half of the twentieth century, or second half?
stunt double?
