Re: Q20

crud! I've never heard of Ann Radcliffe either.

4. was he a scientist?

Also i should point out that you are supposed to relist the questions before the answers, abbreviating as you see fit.

Like this:
1. Man. dead
2. Yes he died before the 20th century
3.  No he was not involved in the arts.

Re: Q20

Hey, please don’t waste questions. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in the 20th century. We already know that this person died BEFORE the 20th century. And Nobel Prizes are not awarded posthumously. Sometimes it pays to think carefully before posting.

Re: Q20

You have some anger control issues. It's supposed to be a game...So one person makes a mistake? No big deal.

Dont jump on me now, im just saying take it easy and lets continue with the game.

Re: Q20

Yes, let's continue. You are perfectly right Jane, but it comes across a bit aggressively.

We can discuss questions first, of course ... but how do we distinguish between a discussion question and a game question?

Re: Q20

I think the best way would be to assume that all questions are game questions, except when explicitly noted otherwise.

Or maybe we could cleverly phrase the discussion questions so that the answers aren't yes/no.

He used to play the violin. He's dead now. No longer is he involved in music.
