Well, since we're very good with this whodunnit thing, I decided to launch this little game here.
It's pretty simple. I am someone (person, cartoon, book character, whatever) and everyone else can have a guess at who I am.
The one who guesses it has the next round, and we'll try to guess on him/her.
I hope this works. :-)
To start, I'll give you all one hint: I'm a real person.

Just because he leapt to mind: Galileo?

4. Known for cultural deeds
5. Known for scientific deeds (among other things)

4. Asian

Are you, ... Leonardo da Vinci?

Inventor, artist, architect and scientist.

May-14-2013 12:37

Yesss! It's Leonardo da Vinci. This code wasn't very hard to break :).

Congrats, Peter!

Oh good Heavens! Thank you!

Now I will have to find myself anew. Perhaps the good people of Sleuthville can assist?

The person I am thinking of is a living woman. Who can she be?

May-15-2013 09:05

Well, let's get started. Is this living woman an actress?

May-15-2013 10:29

Is she North American, South American, or European?

May-15-2013 15:58

Thank you ladies. She is a North American actress.

May-16-2013 23:35

Has she played the leading role in any of her films? Is she below 30? Does her name start with a vowel? Does she act in only in movies of a particular genre? Does she act only in romantic movies or action movies or thrillers or more than one of the above? Strange set of questions, I know, but my head's all kind of messed up now :P

May-17-2013 20:46

She has indeed been a leading lady. She is not below 3o (Did you mean years or pounds? No matter; same answer.) She is not known for one particular genre, but is known - even acclaimed - in at least two. However, I would not say that romantic, action or thrillers are one of them. At this point I simply caution you not to try to pigeon hole either the actress or her work. Hope that helps to un-mess your head, but I suspect not.

Is a North American actress
known in more than one genre

Not best known in romantic, action or thriller movies.
