20 Questions - Page 1106 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

I did see that after posting, but it only gives the US total 2 weeks after opening weekend. Not meaning to criticize Xander, but just wondering how IMDB totals work. Are we to assume all theater showings closed within 2 weeks? Or were numbers likely just not updated?

I have been curious how people did these searches; can you direct me to the IMDB search? I couldn't figure out how to do it.

That's what I use. Coupled with some manual looking after the results are below 100 or so.

It's frustrating you can't do an 'is X, but not Y' search. Would make life much easier with Genres.

I guess it wasn't designed for a bunch of gambling degenrates playing 20 questions...

BUMP

someone else should start a game. Hopefully someone will do one over the next 24 hours or you'll be stuck with another one of mine.

let's say that I used 4 questions, since you shouldn't really have told me that he's European just yet. (I would have asked European as Q4 FWIW)

5. Famous for either sports, music or television/film?

so we've got a bit of modspew that he's not famous for film and I'd wager therefore that he's not famous for TV either.

Is he famous for sports?
