AI Thread Summary
A user has initiated a game involving the identification of various aircraft, munitions, and space-related items through a series of clues, including photographs. Each question will have up to three clues, with participants allowed to guess only once per clue, earning points based on when they answer correctly. The game encourages interaction, with players discussing their guesses and clarifying clues, while also establishing rules to prevent guess editing and multiple submissions. The host plans to post multiple questions simultaneously and aims to keep the difficulty varied, starting with harder clues and potentially easing them as the game progresses. Overall, the discussion fosters a competitive yet engaging environment for aviation enthusiasts.

Bystander      17
Cyrus          27
Fred           10

Got a "muff" in here somewhere --- 18x3 = 54, minus 1 for 2nd on j79 minus 1 for 2nd on Corona minus 2 on Iron Mike = 50 possible; I'm at 16. I'll let Fred and Cyrus fight out the partitioning of the other 34.

I'm easy. Give them to Cyrus. He needs the emotional support that more points will bring him.BTW... this is the best thread EVER.

I was at work. I just came back online to see all these easy pictures posted and I missed them!

Oh well, someone has to take the pitty points, right fred? I hope that Jane's book is coming in handy.

I'd messed up a couple of question numbers before. There were in fact 20 questions completed at this point. I'd accidentally repeated numbers twice. The question numbers have all been fixed now.

Bystander, you score's been corrected. Kurdt's 3 points have been added to the scores. That fixes the balance sheet, I think.

It's the rocket engine from the Bell X-1. I can't remember the name of it though.
Nicely done! My second clue was planned roughly along those lines (pointing to Chuck Yeager or the X-series).

It's the XLR-11. Good enough for me.

Fred gets 3.

Erm I think my three points could possibly be kindly donated between the three contenders seeing as I'm clearly not in the running :smile:

RQ-3 Darkstar

I think its an x-45b

The darkstar has a straight trailing edge.

Between Gokul's camera work and my bifocals, there is no such thing as a straight line.

Q27: A space thingie.

A trash can w/windows?

An escape pod? I don't know...

Well, the ugly clown is right. It's the Dart not the Dagger. The F-106 has a slightly different cockpit, a bigger engine and the fin and rudder shapes are also different from the 102.

3 points to Fred.

It's so worth it when someone makes just the mistake you were hoping they would. :biggrin:

As opposed to the guy that posted a picture of the wrong answer thinking it was right? You do need help.

I will buy you Janes guide for christmas, (not the edition you already own, the newer one, Collectors Edition), just for you.

P3 Orion.......(shakes head)

What do you even say to that?

Because we all know the P-3 Orion, a LOW wing airplane, looks just like the C-133 with its HIGH wing......aye caramba!

Correct - the Cargomaster (it's the one that broke all kinds of speed and weight records for a transport plane) .

3 points, Cyrus.

Fred, I'm hardly likely to find an Orion in an Airforce Museum! Besides, the nose section is wrong and the wings are too high for an Orion.

Yes I agree, he's a buffoon.

Make sure you get the updated UAV section for yourself.

Hence the term SWAG...I did forget about the Air Force part though.

Q27: XB-70 escape pod. Or maybe one of Dr. Who's castoffs. Or maybe Mrs. D2.

Q28: F-106, Delta Dart.

Q29: Satellite recovery bird.
 
  • #195
And always with the timely reply, Bystander! LOL!

At least he gets them right. Eh fred?

P-3 Orion.......AHHHHHHH!

Sure, Delta Dagger boy.

Hey man, I was off by a later model. Your answer was so far off mark, you should be deducted 3 points!

Seriously, P3 Orion!? What ever your smoking, stay on it so I can whip your arse.

And that x-36 was not a UAV, it had a cockpit. Do you not understand the concept of UAV? (Hint: Unmanned)

HINT: It was a 28% scale model. Even someone with your tiny little brain would fit in there. It was a demonstrator braniac.
 
  • #199
Yes, that was, but the airplane, the x-36, would have been full scale. DARRRRRRRRRRR

There was no such plan for a full sized x-36 Einstein.
