Challenge 8

Do you have a link to a place where a larger image is available?

Have you got a link for a better graphic? I did "save Pcture As ..." and got a 400 x 173 bitmap. Could hardly make out Chairman Mao.

Hello chaterpilar and interested readers

Unfortunately the expanded version of your shrunken picture is too poor in definition to ascertain any figure properly (It is blurred)

Here is a larger-sized digital version:

If you need the king-sized digital version, you may see it here:

Trust that assists you all.

I cannot see my picture in the painting, I guess the artist ran out of paint.

Kind Regards....

Cheers, SparkY.

I just know that camel ... can't fit a name to it.

Always like that for me with photo quizzes down the pub (or anywhere else for that matter, or even putting a name to people I've known for years!)

[I've often thought there must be a name for this condition - ie, inability to remember names of people, given the faces. Anyone know it? (And "too much Ruddles Best" isn't the answer - I've been like it since I was 5 or 6! {that's six, not 6! = 720 - my brain's not completely shot}).]

I'm with you John, in thanking Sparky for the larger pic. (Not that it makes much difference).

I likewise have a similar problem to, and that's a big problem. I can have a class of 20 students, I get them all to to put a name tag on their desks so that I hope that I know who I am speaking to.............after about four weeks, I get to know a few of them by name...........it really irks me..........because I teach for four weeks, eight hours a day and I have no problems.......... I don't and never have used lesson plans.

Oh well no point in worrying about it now at 68 (nearly).

I only managed 29 and some I recognize but cannot put names to them.

I have the same condition... I can't remember names, only faces. I really try and ask the name twice or 3 times so I don't forget but it is hopeless because I always forget it anyway.

Well Jed and John that's three of us that admit it.............I reckon that there may be a few more like us around.

Yes John I know where you are coming from.............teachers were like that when I went to school.........I don't know what happened to us..........nought to worry.

The camel's name is Clyde.--Ray Stevens

Are you sure it isn't Joe. I think I recognize the muzzle.

I saw everyone except Jimmy Hoffa!

This is fun. I think I got 34 of them and there are another half dozen that I recognize the pics but can't remember the names.

It is Zim farmers waiting for Mugabe to give up office. The camel is their because a lack of fuel. I think they better lay down, he just imported weapons and ammunition. (I hope the standards is compatible with other products).

26

42!

I feel a historical / pop culture fool now. I only found 41 that I am positive about. Although there are quite a few more that I'm reasonably sure on but I think may be rendered poorly. Didn't count them.

Is the gent peeking out from under the tablecloth (next to Shirley Temple, center foreground) Lewis Carroll?

The gent just in front and to the painting left of Pavarotti...is that Salvadore Dali?

And just out of curiosity, what is it Bill Clinton is proudly waving in his left hand? (Hey now...be polite here.)

Yes, he is surely Dalì... the moustache and the glance are unmistakable!

" what is it Bill Clinton is proudly waving in his left hand?"

I'd say it's a squid.

I can't see very well..........is it something belonging to Monica????????

Probably keys to her chastity belt!!!!!

Best I can do ...

A can of worms maybe? His nickname was "Slick Willy" for his ability to wiggle out of difficult situations.

Maybe it's suggesting that he sees himself as Perseus (just having cut the head off a very small Medusa) - reference to a predilection for looking in mirrors??

It looks like that black dress (all screwed up. Pun intended!!), so he is happy to be able to destroy the evidence at last!!!

I tend to agree, but the symbology escapes me. Offering the public something slimy? Or he really likes calamari?

Although slightly more obvious is that of George Bush (in a bathrobe?) using/needing a telescope to spy on Stalin (who's apparently glaring back at him) rather than finding Bin Laden - who's right behind him.

Not trying to start a political row there. Promise.

Is there a key to this thing? I'm tired of trying to figure out some of these people. For instance, who's the young man immediately behind Lincoln? Who are the two gents between Arafat and Pavarotti?

And I'm absolutely positive the man with the bottle just below Churchill is the guy who stole the trolling motor off my boat down at the lake last August. If anybody knows his name, please contact the police. Thanks.

Stinkey Pete, the early years.

I got 46, but recognize a couple more, but can´t seem to remember the names. Darn it.

Exactly my problem too.....and I bet we are not alone. I have posted my list, that may jog your memory a bit.....

I am at 49 and still going (slowly!), the list I have at this time is as follows:-

OJ Simpson, Genghis Khan, Bill Clinton, Elvis Presley, Mozart, Shakespeare, Hitler, Churchill(looks a bit like WC Fields), Saddam Hussein, Stalin, Charles De Gaulle, Vivien Leigh, Mussolini, Edward Herrman, Solomon, Ingrid Berman, Leopold II, Harrison Ford, Karl Marx, Lenin, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abe Lincoln, Mao, Confucius, Fidel Castro, Pavarotti, Prince Charles, Julius Caesar, Mother Teresa, Salvador Dali, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Gandhi, Rasputin, GW Bush, Nero, Yasser Arafat, Che Guevara, Mike Tyson, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean, Einstein, Queen Victoria, Shirley Temple, Abraham Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Moses, Pol Pot, Nasser.

Absolutely no outside help.....some of the spellings may (are!) not correct....

This should enable us to manage a lot more than 50, even 60 with a combined effort!!!

We can add Bill Gates, Audrey Hepburn, Pele, Osama Bin Laden, Michael Jordan, Leonardo da Vinci, Aristotle (or it could be Plato... they're all old Greeks with beards... they might both be in there somewhere), and Bruce Lee. The Pharoah looking guy could be Yul Brynner or Pharoah Ramses, not sure which lol.

But OJ Simpson isn't in that picture.
