Re: 20 Questions - Game 238
I would suggest scratching it or making it conditional. If the answer to my Europe question is "yes", then we know the birth year is after 1940.

Whoops, too late. Fortunately it wasn't a problem.

Re: 20 Questions - Game 238
So for birth places, we have:
-South America
-Africa (but not South Africa)
-Asia (but not China or Japan)
-Oceania (but not Australia or New Zealand)
Remember this is a native English speaker. My guess is that he is a British WWII (or maybe WWI, but not as likely given the birth and death years) person who was born in one of the colonies.

Re: 20 Questions - Game 238
SUMMARY:
1. Real dead male human.
2,3,13,14. Born 1886-1907.
8,9,10,12,15. Not born in NA, Europe, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, or Japan.
5. Died 1976-2024.
4. First language English.
6,7,11,14. Primarily famous for military. May still have some fame for government (but if so not British govt), nobility/royalty (but if so, not British royalty/aristocracy), or STEM, but these have not been excluded yet.
I'm with Hominid that this is probably a WW2 officer from a British colony, but we only have five more questions to narrow this down.

Re: 20 Questions - Game 238
How do I phrase this...
Were they born on the west side of the prime meridian?
ie, the US would be on the west side and China would be on the east side

Re: 20 Questions - Game 238
Does this man's highest military rank correspond with NATO rank codes OF-8 or OF-9? For the British Army, these would be General (4-Star) and Lieutenant General (3-Star).
