WARNING : THat IS attempting a complete answer. As per the rules, if you are wrong, you would not be able to participate for this question. The other alterantive is to attempt to get closer (zero in) on the answer rather than 'shoot blindly'.

Just an example : You could ask if they were brothers ? There could be other ways of asking :D


Want me to answer still ??

Q 15 Is playing for a University one of the common things ?

Edited this will be Q16, Bryce will be Q15.

Since Bryce's question is rejected this will remain Q15, while awaiting bryce to rephrase question.

I answered the question asked. AND the question you are asking can not be answered with a yes/no answer :mellow:
You may have to rephrase the question and it will count as a query :happy:

PS. Not relevant, in this case means, it may be so or may not be so but this doesnt affect the answer OR this was not a part of the original query.

well you said there are 4 common things, so playing for a university either is one of the common things or isn't one....

I dont know. Maybe thet did maybe they didnt. They could have had other things in commonn besides the four I started with , you know, maybe they loved the same type of music, but its not relevant for me :D

The four things they had in common , which I had in mind when I started this, did not include going to the same college or university.

He didn't say that they were all necessarily the same country.

The prescence of Ranji and Nawab on there suggests some sort of royalty connection...
