Lateral Thinking Puzzles - third time is best!

kkkkkk

Hint:

They both did something absolutely normal and typical. I’d even say prevalent. However, they both shared a very odd detail within their otherwise normal and typical thing they did.

Would this normal and typical thing be a common activity mostly done everyday by most people?

I’m trying to distinguish between normal and typical things that are common and mundane like eating, or cleaning; from ‘normal and typical’ things that are less common/mundane like vacations, attending theatres, voting…

…hey…

Did this have to do with voting or elections?

No.

No.

Does the answer have anything to do with the way they were born?
The way they died?

Did it have something to do with the families that each of them had?

Does it have something to do with their ancestors?

Their descendants?

No to both.

  1. Yes.
  2. No.
  3. No.

So something with their families, but not ancestors or descendants (I consider parents as ancestors).

That leaves contemporaries; is that correct?

Does it have something to do with their siblings?

Or cousins, aunts, uncles etc. who were family but neither ancestors or descendants?

Did they have wedding ceremonies (or associated activities/events) with this unusual detail?

Were they both part of a set of quintuplets? (or other large set of siblings)

No. That wouldn’t be prevalent, either.

Anyway, no.

Was Anna related to anyone famous? Was Kirstie? If yes: to the same famous person?

Did they share an unusual genetic trait?

  1. Yes. (anna related to a famous person)

  2. No. (kirstie not related to anyone famous)

  3. No. (this is to the genetic trait q)

Yes or no to Anna Freud?

No.

kkkkkkk

Another helpful tip might be:

Maybe just start listing a bunch of common things people do and see if you can hit on the relevant one?

Did you overlook this one?

They did have wedding ceremonies. And, yes, I suppose this detail was in the ceremony, though I don’t think the ceremony for either was notable.

I don’t think I got a followup with this one.

Things that are common but don’t happen daily…Does it involve:

vacation?

Travel?

Food?

religion?

Reading/Writing?

schooling?

employment?

Is this commonality a ‘thing’ or an ‘activity’, or ‘occurance’?
