Raúl Alfonsín

[cdngooner]

No offense but this game is an absolute dumpster fire. "Living" means "dead" and Spanish is not the official language of Argentina.

Though not declared official de jure, the Spanish language is the only one used in the wording of laws, decrees, resolutions, official documents and public acts thus making it the de facto official language.

[Hominidae]

Born in 1870 or later?

[JECE]

Galtieri

No

[JECE]

Raúl Alfonsín

No

[JECE]

Born in 1870 or later?

No. That's 20 questions! There are five total guesses left.

Remember that he "was a prominent figure in Argentina" (emphasis added).

[Hominidae]

There are multiple people it could be. I'll guess Bartolomé Mitre.

[JECE]

No

[Spartaculous]

Remember that he "was a prominent figure in Argentina" (emphasis added).

Do we think that the QM is hinting us that we are not looking for a president or prime minister of Argentina? Is Joe Biden a prominent figure in Canada?

[modderpoel]

José Batlle y Ordóñez?

This is the uruguayan president born within the right period with the most wikipedia coverage

[damo666]

Roca?

[Hominidae]

Could be Chilean as well.

[DarthPorg36]

Lautaro (Mapuche leader)

[Hominidae]

Could be Chilean as well.

Oh wait, no. We eliminated that. Never mind.

[DarthPorg36]

Lautaro (Mapuche leader)

Scratch that he wasn't born after 1800 missed that one

[DarthPorg36]

This is incredibly difficult sheesh

[JECE]

José Batlle y Ordóñez?

This is the uruguayan president born within the right period with the most wikipedia coverage

I'm going to ignore this guess given the penultimate question, but interesting pick.

[JECE]

Roca?

No. Three guesses left.

Keep looking for historically relevant individuals.
