After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

Is it famous invention?

Elegran Fri 04-Nov-16 20:31:52

So, to recap, A historical female person, 18 or 19C, not political, not a witch or a ghost. Or a thing, 19C, not a building.

A bluestocking?

Wobblybits Fri 04-Nov-16 20:33:01

The person and the thing have a female name

Is it a character no 11 to go

Elegran Fri 04-Nov-16 20:35:12

Is this thing a household object?

Jalima Fri 04-Nov-16 20:35:14

Britannia

Linsco56 Fri 04-Nov-16 20:36:20

Did it start as a thing and the name of the thing then became an accepted female name?

nanaK54 Fri 04-Nov-16 20:36:21

This is very true!

Wobblybits Fri 04-Nov-16 20:36:52

Yes it is certainly a person and a thing
Does your brain hurt, only you can tell

Wobblybits Fri 04-Nov-16 20:48:30

I have just found that whilst the person is British the thing originates from Australia, not that it will help.

Another clue == I picked this thing as it is best now.

Wobblybits Fri 04-Nov-16 20:49:41

Wobblybits Fri 04-Nov-16 20:51:48

Some one suggest a famous invention, it's not, but that is a good route to take.

Elegran Fri 04-Nov-16 20:52:21
