I'm in a 'just for fun trivia' contest in Minnesota in February. It's 50 straight hours of trivia questions over the radio. Teams sizes and resources (internet, book, etc.) are unlimited. The questions are insanely difficult.

Some of the questions during the contest will be asked about 'visual trivia' pictures that they distribute in advance, but wow they are hard. If you have a few minutes take a look at the unsolved ones and let me know of any answers/guess/ideas that you may have. Thanks for your help!!!

Thanks,
Ryan

It isn't. According to Stpehen Hawkins it does'nt exist, it is just your perception! Light travelling through microscopic water molecules creating a prism. ie. raindow

I am confused, I thought we were trying to identify some pictures.

Edited to add that I now realise you are referring to the forum title, you are not responding to this question.

Phew! Thanks for that explanation , Sue. I kept reading the post and wondering what on earth I had missed in the previous one about the Trivia contest. It is a relief to find one is not completely loonie, all the time.

What exactly are we supposed to be doing? Identifying the peeople or objects in the picture? Or are they visual puns of some sort?

I need to know who the people are. These could be from movies, tv, real life, etc. Any guesses/ideas would be great. Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
I'd be glad to help you, but certainly not for money. We all play for fun here, I believe. :-)

Well, here are two (very wild) guesses:
no. 11 - Harry Houdini
no. 13 - Richard Bach or Keith Carradine

It's not much, sorry, but I'll keep on thinking.
Ciao :-)

Those are some great guesses. I especially like the Richard Bach idea. I will research and see if I can confirm these on Google. Thanks!!!

Hi Ryan,
I hope you have been crowned "Minnesota's Trivia King", or Prince, or Earl, or whatever title of nobility Minnesota had to grant to Trivia Champions. :-)
Having spent several hours starring at the screen, and wildly conjecturing about the pictures you posted, now, obviously, I am curious to know who were those people. Do you care to post the solutions? Thanks!

Cheers,
Mirella

Apparently all solved so I will close this thread as the photos are not visible so will be of no use to anyone in future.
