Guess: Barack Obama
Congratulations!

I thought I would go with someone really obvious just to see how long it would take. I chose Obama instead of Biden because the evil part of me hoped that the Oceanian birthplace would trip people up.

I almost got through this without looking anything up, but then I second-guessed myself on the spelling of Hussein.

Next game will start in 10 mins because it is the only convenient time for me.

Usually I stink at this game, but I know my presidents.

question about the game as whole, how is 'entity' in rule 0 defined? could one pick, say, a corporate entity (ie. alphabet inc.), or a video game system/toy (ie. 3DS, nerf guns, etc.)?
still kinda curious as to the answer to this question i had. probably it's going to be quite a while before I actually win a game and can use this info myself, but I'd still like to know, and for future clarifications.

thanks! partial inspiration from one piece, partial from that one scene from the martian, thought it was pretty cool.

We really should have a philosopher around for clarification, but I guess really what this should mean is "person", in some philosophical sense. Any human being (real or fictitious) counts, but we've also had animals (both real and fictitious), along with a fictional robot, I think. The thing is that it needs to be a specific one: for the animals, the goal isn't to guess "racehorse" or "groundhog", it's to guess "Secretariat" or "Punxsutawney Phil". At least that's my read of the situation.
