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.

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

Female, 18/19C could be a thing or a person

This is a thing or it could be a person.

The person is historical circa 18/19 century

Jalima Fri 04-Nov-16 20:08:07

A King?

shandi6570 Fri 04-Nov-16 20:08:07

Yes, I'm confused as well nanaK but that's not difficult. I think you may be right with your guess.

whitewave Fri 04-Nov-16 20:07:06

Male?

nanaK54 Fri 04-Nov-16 20:04:02

Yay I'm glad we are playing again!

So is it person or a thing I'm confused

Guy Fawkes?

shandi6570 Fri 04-Nov-16 19:55:56

shandi6570 Fri 04-Nov-16 19:54:22

A historical person?
