Click For 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.

Code: 
[u]TOP SCORES[/u] :

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:
