I'll take a free guess even if we did waste 10 questions assuming our person was "living".

Juvenal Habyarimana, former President of Rwanda whose killing brought on the Rwandan Civil War.

No

Is he a dead person primarily associated with an African country that was also the country of his birth?

No

Thank you Hmm, I did not read the first question as necessarily asking about somebody who is currently alive; I read it more like 'real live human'. "Living" explicitly means not dead. Your answer was misleading if the person is dead. You should clarify if they are alive or dead. It was a five-part...

Regardless, I'd just like to know what questions are true and what are not, so I can reassess what we're looking at for information and how many questions we have left Moving on from the first question, be careful with how the questions are phrased. At least one answer may surprise players once the...

This game is getting frustrating. A while back a QM told us the subject was in the Politburo during WW2, when in fact he was appointed in 1946. Now the QM tells us he is "living" and we cannot trust that that in fact means he is, you know, living? I saw that complaint from a previous game. I didn't...

OK. Born before 1800?

No

Thank you Hmm, I did not read the first question as necessarily asking about somebody who is currently alive; I read it more like 'real live human'. Well this kind of changes everything. We've all been asking questions under the assumption that this person is alive. It could be some Inca emperor fo...

Does this person have a source of fame of similar or bigger size compared to his role in government?

Do we have reason we can’t believe him to be dead? Maybe I’m just looking over something though

The first question specified "living".

Thank you

Head of state/government for at least some time after the end of 2005?

No, assuming that we're talking about the Common Era.

Way to early guess: Simon Bolivar

Simon Bolivar was the correct answer for game #175, it can't be him again.

He's also dead, and born in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'll be kind and ignore this guess.

Known for being a governmental or military role?

Yes, assuming that "in" is missing from the question.

Would John Major and Gouverneur Morris produce "Yes" answers to the question as originally asked?

Outside of "l'état, c'est moi", I'd say that nobody is themselves a role.
