Josh500 1,615 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 OK, here's a few more clues. By the way, this "test" (or riddle or whatever you want to call it) doesn't originate with me. I belong to a private online forum, where about 12 guys and girls from around the world discuss honestly, openly, and cordially (meaning without malice), all sorts of current-day topics, including controversial ones. And somebody out of the blue just posted this question. Nobody guessed the answer for a week or so, and then I did. The OP later told me that I wasn't the first to arrive at the answer but one of the first. Anyway, here are some of the outrageous and/or hilarious answers proposed, which all turned out to be wrong: 1. They all have powerful daddies in the business that helped them get to where they are in their careers. 2. They all faked a British accent at some point. 3. They all had boob jobs. 4. They all had nose jobs. 5. They all had boob and nose jobs. 6. They all can't act or sing. 7. They all appeared on Ellen. (really? Marilyn Monroe?) 😂 8. They all speak at least one foreign language fluently. 9. They all guest starred on Friends. (again, Marilyn Monroe?) 😂 10. They all adopted a child from a poor Third World country and posed publicly with them... Oh, and another clue: most of the names on the list are fixed, meaning they definitely belong there, but not all of them. There's a chance some of them might get off it at some point. But for right now they are! 5 hours ago, W0$ said: They all have a sibling, specifically an older brother. Outside the box is a sexual euphemism to not think about the women.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If the thirty minutes that I spent checking wikipedia articles to test a few theories got something close, but not exact, then this proves this isn't a reasonably fun question to ask people. Not if it involves 26 women who are not all American, not all the same race, didn't all meet, and all still aren't alive. This is research. You may as well say the answer is that they all released a third movie that debuted on the same day in Tokyo, or they all had a second husband named Steve. It's not fun based on what people are reasonably supposed to know or remember. You're just too smart for us, Mensa boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,219 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So we're looking for some sort of attribute which can be satisfied in a non-permanent way, but can also be (and in most of the given cases is) satisfied in a permanent way. It also appears to be somewhat related to gender. Something to do with their offspring (or their siblings) could fit these requirements, but I couldn't spot any commonalities from a quick Google search of a few of the names on the list (and, in any case, that's not the sort of thing one could guess on the basis of a general familiarity with their performance history). What other sort of attribute could fit the requirements? 14 minutes ago, Fabulin said: The problem with this question is that it has many correct answers... These sorts of puzzles generally do, but the "correct" answers will mostly be unnatural contrivances. It's possible that there's a natural connection shared by the twenty-six people named in the top list (and not by the six others) that we're all overlooking...

Josh500 1,615 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Like I said, I didn't get the answer right away either. But when you do, you'll most likely know it, and it won't be disappointing or ridiculous (but maybe you'll be slapping your forehead in sudden understanding and/or incredulity). Trust me, there's one very obvious connection. Most people just don't see it right away, maybe it's just too obvious.
