20 Questions - Round 13

#1 Post by VillageIdiot » Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:47 am

Lucky ROUND 13

1. Only yes/no questions may be asked.
2. If the answer is unclear, question master must clarify why.
3. One guess per person does not count against the total, but additional guesses by the same person do. After all 20 questions are up, three total guesses are allowed.
4. Please choose people from history, or movie/TV/literary/video game chars/etc. characters that, if you were to throw a dart out the window, at least 50% of people hit would know this character.
5. Whomever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master. If they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.
6. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, on the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.

Game starts!

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.

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 history :smirk:

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.
