Uh... Joseph Heller? I don't know, just a guess. He wrote Catch-22 after all. - fiveless 16:35, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
I think the answer is Stephen Grover Cleveland. Once again I am not sure. I knew that U.S. presidents had numbers so I went to that article. I saw that Cleveland was number 22 and elected twice unconsecutivly. I guess thats the rule your talking about.
this one is pretty vague so i'll take a wild jab. Ar-Sakalthôr, the 22nd ruler of Númenor. -- Alterego 20:32, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Is the answer by any chance Martin Heinrich Klaproth. From the beginning I thought that the "rule" was I before E except after C. His middle name doesn't follow that rule, but then he's German. Anyway I got it by going to Titanium which is number 22 on the periodic table of elements. Then I saw that Titanium was discovered by some guy and then rediscovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth. -- Rentastrawberry 23:47, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
It's getting to be a theme... I have looked throughout Wikipedia -- the best I can come up with is Pope John XXII, but it's a pretty conventional name for a pope (even a French pope). The only controversy is that there was apparantly no Pope John XX. But that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it...for now. JimCollaborator «talk» 05:16, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Someone was very close to answer, but I'll drop a hint anyway:
Hint:the rule in question is by itself quite unusual and there is an article about it in Wikipedia.

The rule is not the IE/EI rule, nor it is any other rule of English language (or any language for that matter). Grue 17:03, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yossarian
could it be yossarian? after a good hour or so this is the best i could do there is a mention of his name but what the rule is i don't know -- Larsie 08:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
p.s. being fiction i don't know if he's alive or not
Eidur Gudjohnsen 's name is an exception from Naming conventions of Iceland and his number at Chelsea is indeed 22. Grue 06:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
