I didn't mean it got lost-lost... you answered it (it was my question as to whether or not the person in question was the main character of a book/series), and then after Cho's post, you dropped it from the list.

Who am I? - 20 Question Game

I am thinking of a person, real or fictional, living or dead.

The group can ask 20 questions to try to figure out the identity of the mystery person.

I will only answer yes or no (maybe a little more info ).

A guess will be sent ONLY via PM - and does not count towards the question count.

Only one guess per person per day allowed.

The first person to correctly guess the person is the winner, and gets one (1) Sherlock point.

Ask away!
