Was the person in question from Australia?

13. No, he wasn't from Australia...

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Don't despair, you have plenty of guesses left!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Does this man come from a country in any part of the Americas (including islands) or Oceania (Australia not included) where the official language is not a Latin language?

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

The yes/no question you just asked, if such a question is to be found, is whether he counts the Caribbean as part of NA. Not useful information.

I'd re-word that question before Cried sees it, if I were you.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Does this man come from a country in any part of the Americas (including islands) or Oceania (Australia not included) where the official language is not a Latin language?

Actually, I'm not sure if I can answer that the way it's worded. There's an assumption in that question.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Jamaica?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Jamaica?

I edited my last answer Wingman; not sure if you posted before reading it.

Do you still want "Jamaica?" to be answered?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Obviously not. First, I need you to clarify which assumption you mean my question implies.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Obviously not. First, I need you to clarify which assumption you mean my question implies.

But if I tell you, that might reveal something (however small) about the country in question...

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Again my problem. If I pose my question badly, and your yes/no answer provides less information than I hoped for, I need to ask another question.

Nobody else want to get on with the game? I can't seem to free my mind from the geographical angle, something else might be more fruitful with only 7 questions to spare.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Again my problem. If I pose my question badly, and your yes/no answer provides less information than I hoped for, I need to ask another question.

The problem has nothing to do with geography. The question you asked assumes (the latter part of it) that countries only have one official language. Try rewording it.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Cried, you can reword that one easily enough. It's pretty obvious what he meant there.

Does this man come from a country in any part of the Americas (including islands) or Oceania (Australia not included) where a Latin language is not an official language?

14. Yes!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Was he a musician?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Was he a musician?

15. No, he wasn't a musician...

(Were you thinking Bob Marley, @Dr. Eddies Wingman?)

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

AAMOF, I was.

So not a musician, not a scientist, not primarily an author and not a politician.

Was it an athlete?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

So not a musician, not a scientist, not primarily an author and not a politician.

Indeed.

Was it an athlete?

16. Yes, he was an athlete...

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

We have been using the word "was" a lot. But we have not yet asked, is this person still alive?

He's
