They asked how many "reincarnations" there have been of the Dalai Lama. I think, and maintain, that the answer is 0, as I don't think "reincarnation" is possible. Had they instead said, "How many people have there been that have been called 'The Dalai Lama'", I would have answered differently.

Since this is a game about cognitive biases, hosted at mit.edu, I maintained hope that they, too, would be this pedantic about semantics, but, sadly, no.
