Head of state and/or head of government?
Re: Twenty Questions, Round 205!

It was already asked if he was a head of state (he is not). In case you want to rephrase your question.Head of state and/or head of government?
Re: Twenty Questions, Round 205!

Good catch. Scratch the question then.
I wish people would stop asking if the person is a head of state though, without also asking if they're a head of government.
Re: Twenty Questions, Round 205!

For my actual question: was this person ever in a national legislative body, such as a parliament?
Re: Twenty Questions, Round 205!

I beg for clarification of an earlier question/answer. I asked if he was a "military leader or revolutionary". QM answered "No." I intended "military leader" and "revolutionary" to be separate, but realize the adjective "military" might have been applied to both, such that you answered "No" to "military revolutionary", but might have answered yes to a broader definition of revolutionary.
Would this person be described as a political revolutionary, even if not a military one?
I intend this as a clarification, not a question. But if QM in your wisdom judge it to be a question, don't answer it. I won't waste one of the team's questions on this.

Does this person have anything named after them?
Be it a sports arena, a college, a type of spoon, a country, a dish, or anything else.

The next question will be question 19. Hopefully we get some yes's

Well, as a free hint I can tell you that he was neither a head of state nor a head of government. Question duly scratched.
He was indeed.
I answered the question as you intended to ask it. He is not usually described as a revolutionary.cdngooner wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:58 pmI beg for clarification of an earlier question/answer.

As a matter of fact, he has several things named after him. I'm positive you've heard of at least one of them.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 6:02 pmDoes this person have anything named after them?
