Re: Q20

Nope. But I'm curious, who were you thinking of?

1. Woman dead
2. No she was not a scientist.
3. No she was not involved in the arts.
4. No she was not involved with feminism
5. No she was not involved with law.
6. Yes she died before the 19th century
7. No she was not an author.
8. No she was not involved in psychology.

Hint, MathsIsFun proposed some good questions in his last reply.

Re: Q20

To clarify, what definition of scientist are we going by? Science can encompass a variety of subjects, some of which are often regarded as a science even though they are.

And

9. Was she royal?

Re: Q20

i guess the physical and life sciences. Does that seem fair or should Science include more?

3. No she was not involved in the arts.
4. No she was not involved with feminism
5. No she was not involved with law.
6. Yes she died before the 19th century
7. No she was not an author.
8. No she was not involved in psychology.

No, that's fine, I was just making sure that we were going by the same meaning.

10. Was she a mathematician?

Re: Q20

I will take a guess, since we can't seem to narrow her down to a certain field

11. Was she Joan of Arc?

Re: Q20

That's just a lucky guess. Can we think of things rather than people? We could specify if the thing is an object or a person.

Re: Q20

I was just trying to think of some extraordinary women in history as mikau said. So when I struck on Joan of Arc, I figured it has to be her.

Since no one is going, I will go again.
1. Man. Dead
