    Not really - since there was one more "or" type question earlier, from Noel.
    "My boxer won his title at lightweight or lower"
    ...so there were still two divisions left. Asking whether a boxer won a title below Super Featherweight - or above Featherweight - would've done the same thing.

    I hear You though, it certainly can affect the game so I'm happy with it being disallowed. I've just seen other people ask questions in such a form and it being answered without comment - so I didn't think much of it.

    I think asking a multipart question is asking two questions but it only counts as one.

    I’m fine with it but I wish I had known it before.

    I think an above or below is of a different nature @Mastrangelo — functionally in this case it could have been worded that way, but as worded it looks to me as if it’s asking one.

    If we can do it that way, all of my questions will probably be multi-part going forward.

    There were quite a few "or" type questions earlier in this thread, usually regarding weight-class - but each time it was something that could've easily been asked worded differently without any "ors", with the same effect:
    - Did Your boxer win a title at lightweight or below?
    Is the same as:
    - Did Your boxer win a title in divisions below Super Lightweight?
    or
    - Did Your boxer win a title in 105-135 divisions weight range?
    etc.
    My case was similar. I don't think it goes against the spirit of asking one question at a time, nor it gives any advantage.

    Perhaps it can help narrow down the countries a bit easier without having to be creative using the terms like western hemisphere etc., but I still don't see it being a game-changer.
    The boss will decide, but I'll be genuinly curious to see how much You can do with it in the next round, how much advantage it can potentially give if used right.

    Doesn’t much matter @Mastrangelo — I’m headed out of town today, then back tomorrow and immediately on the road again for a few more. I probably won’t be able to participate before the 15th round ends.

    By the way, since everyone went quiet - I hope it didn't come off as if We were arguing in here?
    Sorry - I just find silly things like this interesting, game theory and all that ). It's nothing serious, all fun.

    Round 12 is officially over.

    Round 1: Sugar Ramos 15/20 Final guess: @Saintpat
    Round 2: Glen Johnson 19/20 Final guess: @Mastrangelo
    Round 3: Marvin Camel 13/20 Final guess: @Dorrian_Grey
    Round 4: Oscar Larios 13/20 Final guess: @Mastrangelo
    Round 5: Beau Jack 15/20 Final guess: @Saintpat
    Round 6: Duke Mckenzie 11/20 Final guess: @Saintpat
    Round 7: George Chip 12/20 Final guess: @Greg Price99
    Round 8: Sirimongkol Singmanasak 16/20 Final guess: @Greg Price99
    Round 9: Carl Duane 14/20 Final guess: @Noel857
    Round 10: Tommy Burns 10/20 Final guess: @Greg Price99
    Round 11: Young Perez 7/20 Final guess: @Noel857
    Round 12: Robbie Peden 17/20 Final guess @Mastrangelo

    Round 13 has begun.

    This round will use the normal rules. (One guess per poster, boxer must have won a world title at some point, questions like "Is your boxer from x?" will be treated as questions about birthplace unless specified otherwise by the poster.)

    This is a reminder that round 15 will be considered the final round of this "season" and will have a harder rule set which will be explained in its starting post.

    Questions 0/20

    Current information:

    None yet

    There was some debate over what questions should count. I will be keeping the rules the same. If a question is unclear to me or does not seem to fit within the rules I will ask the poster to clarify before answering. If we cannot find a way to fit the question into the rules or make it more clear then I won't answer the question and recommend that the poster asks a different question.
