Because he's a prominent physicist from the past :rolleyes:

Just mean a physicist of the past :)
 
Depending on how people score I'd love to do this again and either make it harder or easier.
 
What will be harder for some will be easier for others.

Of course, but it's possible to move the percentage chance it is more difficult.

My point was different. He is a mathematician!

Eight out of thirteen --- I cheated on Poincare.

He was both according to Wiki
 
  • #12
9 out of 13

But it should've been 7 out of 13 because the LHC and moon questions were guesses that just so happened to be correct. Why doesn't this ever happen on real quizzes? :frown:

Only 6 correct here. None of my guesses panned out.
 
  • #14
Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Thanks

Couldn't see the pictures, but could see the file names of the pictures. That probably made it easier to score 10/13.

Would be harder if you named the files more according to the question than according to the right answer.
