Boromir's guess the famous game #436 - Norris McWhirter, who along with his twin brother wrote The Guinness Book of Records - tcrum wins
I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
1. 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.
2. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
3. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
4. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.
