I had an idea that I thought some may enjoy here.

Basically it comes down to this; A member posts a picture of a person and we see who can name the person.

Obviously it shouldn't be someone whose face is extremely well known nor should it be someone totally unknown to the public.

Other than that it could be anyone from anytime - a leader, a scientist, an actor...

I'll start - If no one responds I'll assume there is no interest.

It's not a lack of interest- I followed a few hunches but came up empty.I'll keep thinking.

It could be a lot of fun, John ~ but I for one would need some kind of hint ~ maybe profession or era or ... something ~

Sooz, I was debating whether we should do something like include 3 possible answers, or as you say give the person's profession.


His profession; archaeologist

Sorry, Sooz, it's not.

More hints;

He and his wife spent a lot of time working in Africa.

John, with your permission, I'd like to make this a "sticky" thread ~ this board does not move as quickly as General, but we can encourage others to join by making this more prominent ~

Sooz:

That's fine if you think it's a good idea. But before you do, I was wondering if we should make any changes.

Here are a few ideas - I'm not sure if they will make this better or worse;


1. When a picture is posted, we include some details (like profession, place of birth, are they living or dead, etc.).

or

2. When a picture is posted, we list several names including the correct one. (I'm not sure I like this - it may make it too easy).

or

3. We do it like we did here - as time passes and no one guesses correctly, the poster gives out more clues.

Any thoughts?

I agree this could be fun, although I suck at this kind of thing.

WTG, queen :bow2

I like #3. It would also slow it down a little so more could see it.

Sounds good to me. Then it will be up to the poster to feed us various clues until someone guesses correctly.

Good ~ I'm going to make this a "sticky", which will move it up and keep it amongst the top few threads ~ I'm now going in search of the next photo to test us ~

Yes, I like this idea too. Your clue led me to Mary Leakey and well, I had to look up her husband's first name- I was thinking Richard.

No surprise there - Richard was their son.
