Boromir's guess the famous game #321 [Chiune Sugihara is the famous person, nyctc7 wins!]
1. I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.

Nyctc7 wins with Chiune Sugihara, Japanese diplomat who, as Vice-Consul of Japan in Lithuania, saved over 5,000 Jews from the looming danger of the Nazis by granting them transit visas to the Japanese Empire even though most of them didn’t meet the qualifications. For breaking the rules he was later quietly removed from the diplomatic service and spent most of his remaining life in obscurity until the 1980s when he was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations for his role in rescuing Jews from the Holocaust.
