  • When the correct combination is entered into Google, the stumper's identity must be returned high on the first page (His/Her name must appear in the visible text).
  • Submissions must have their own Wikipedia page.
  • You can call time on this game after a week if you wish, or leave it up for as long as you want. 2 points for guessing it right and 1 point for stumping.
  • After you have successfully stumped the players, you have the choice of posting again or you can leave it open for someone else to post.
.
Note: There are no questions asked in this game with exception of asking for a better photograph.


N.B: Staff reserved the right to update this game if proof has been added by the member guessing, or with their own if necessary, if the game hasn't been answered within one hour of the correct guess.  This is to ensure that the games flow freely even if people are playing from differing timezones.  It also means you can post when you don't have time to answer, with the knowledge that one of us may take care of it for you.

Aargh, I have seen that face before and I am fairly certain of his occupation, but his name won't come to mind. Wiki here I come.

For the record there a 27 different combinations and if you know the occupation that goes down to 9 I believe.  One of the rules is that if you out the right combination into google the person should return high up on the first page of results, so it should be fairly easy for you then... ;).  It is more a relaxed game that me and indie used to play by PM.
