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.



EDITED TO REFLECT ONLY ONE WINNER PER CONTEST

I guess I'll start this off with a question:

Is this person male?

1. Is this person male? Yes

Is this person still alive?

1) Is this person male? Yes

2) Is this person still alive? No

Is this person a fictional character?

1) Is this person male? Yes

2) Is this person still alive? No

3) Is this person a fictional character? No

Using my amazing powers of deduction, we are looking at a REAL dead guy.

So now we have a couple of questions that could be asked. Dealing with area of residence, cause of death, and status in life.

I'm not asking anymore questions till someone who is actually good at these sotrs of games (like Brad/kilt or anyone else for that matter) somes in and askes a couple. Besides, I don't want to monopolize the questions.

1) Is this person male? Yes

2) Is this person still alive? No

3) Is this person a fictional character? No

So, now using both the answers and Ghost's little comment, we are looking at a famous (but not historical) real dead guy. I'll ask the next logical question.
