Re: 20 Questions - Round 13
Is this a fictional character?
The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

Re: 20 Questions - Round 13
Maybe Robert the Bruce is a Well known character in the english history, but for example in Hungary It would be hard to find 10 people on the street knowing him. )(But on which street? Where I thrown out the dart to, of course :)
So of course he can't be Robert The Bruce.

Re: 20 Questions - Round 13
It is the question master who throws the dart, not the challengers. Who counts as famous in Hungary is entirely irrelevant unless the person who sets the challenge happens to live there. Villageidiot, being a learned sort of chap from the anglosphere, will of course have heard of.. erm... one of the greats of English historyqrzy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 9:59 pmMaybe Robert the Bruce is a Well known character in the english history, but for example in Hungary It would be hard to find 10 people on the street knowing him. )(But on which street?

Re: 20 Questions - Round 13
I think qrzy makes a valid point that the game is more fun if the majority of the likely players are likely to know the subject, not just the quizmaster's friends and family.
FWIW, I'm from Canada and am familiar with Robert the Bruce, so that answer would not bother me.
