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.

The first one I posted, I picked something like

British
Doctor
1942

Then went looking for someone, it turned out to be a good one as it came up with an author was had something to do with Dr Who. That stumped him for a wee while.  ;D

Post by: smokester on January 11, 2009, 09:24:41 AM

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.

Great job eel and well done CMF for adapting to this game so well.  Just a heads up about finding mini stumpers, indie worked out that you can do it in reverse i.e: If you enter a year, a nationality and an occupation into google, whoever comes up near the top is usable.  Just an idea if you wonder how to get the stumpers and I actually keep hitting the "random" link on wikipedia until I find someone famous enough to qualify.

Ren? Goscinny (http://blogasterixgalo.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html), I don't think CMF will mind moving the game on.


You get 2pts for a correct guess and 1pt if you can stump everybody. You can post your new stumper now.

If your stumper has many pictures of him in a search, try going for option 3 in the tineye suggestions like I am doing now.  The pic I am posting is not indexed by tineye and it is the second one I tried.  Easy peasy.

I'm not saying that your game isn't working, I'm saying that I didn't find him after to attempts at going through the options.  I have presumably missed him and that means that this game has beaten this time.

Well you could have called this guy by a few names as he is one of Russia most famous spies.  Interesting conflict of opinion in that wiki says he was born in the UK under the name I have given below, but he was also known as "Rudolf Ivonovich Abel" and it is also said that he was in fact born in Russia the year before (although there doesn't seem to be much evidence to support this and Wiki dismisses it).  Either way he was Russian either by birth or repatriation.

We'll call him Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilyam_Genrikovich_Fisher)as most of the literature suggests.

I have been through the permutations twice and can't see a name that fits.  Does it matter which order you enter the 3 things into google for him to show on the first page?  I am using Nationality - Occupation - Birthyear.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sewell_(writer) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sewell_(writer))

Ok, he comes up on the second page for me using all the variations of inputting the facts.  This nearly happened once before as it seems that search returns vary depending on country.  If you are sure he shows on your first page of search returns, then I have thought of a way that might solve this issue.  The rules could be changed to add the birth month as well as the year.  It would make it slightly easier as it would guarantee a high on the page placing for your stumper, but if you hit the right combination without it it usually is pretty easy anyhow.

Another way might be to make this game a "name that wiki stumper" whereby you search wikipedia and not google for the answer.  It should unify the searches regardless of where you are, and it would make it much simpler to select a stumper (all you would have to do it think of a profession, nationality of timeframe for their birth, and pick one of the returns not having to research how google handles it), and it might make the game more fun?

Either way it should be dealt with now if the mechanism for solving this game is flawed.  What do ya think CMF or anyone interested?

I don't really like the thing with the month. Already, that it is long to find a good stumper.
As for the other one, how exactly will it work? It sounds good.

And is my new stumper still valid or do I have to post a new one with the new rules?

Title: Re: Big Stumper's little brother - 2pt and 1pt game
Post by: smokester on July 12, 2009, 04:46:54 PM

actually scratch that, it seems to be working fine and I think I honestly missed it.  I believe google was set to my local search after researching the World game when I tested the combination again.

I'll get onto the new one in the morning.

6 months later and I still have no clue.  :(

Well I'll take the stumping point then and update later:

The solution was

German - Conductor - 1926 = Karl Richter.

BTW. Coundown tag is too buggy so I uninstalled it.

It is! I think I'm kinda proud that took so long.

BTW.  The countdown tag is back and fully tested and working.  Use it, don't use it, it's up to you, but at least it is finally available again.

Hello CMF.

I have to be honest and confess that I haven't a clue who it is myself after all this time.  But at least I can play it now when I'm bored.

I've managed to figure out who this was. Only took me 3 years...

Nonetheless, it still being open was bugging me so I'll update just to put it to sleep.

It was Thanasis Veggos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanasis_Veggos)
