Guinastasia: There was one question in the “Flo” stumper which had to do with a menage a trois on the Alice show (yuk). I see that if you stump the game, it will ask you to input a question which it will ask in the future to help identify the person. Someone obviously pulled a fast one. Heeeeheeehee - I think I’m going to stump it and input another kinky question on another character. Let you know if it works.
