    Game Mystery
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a guessing game where participants identify individuals based on hints and images. Initially, a photo of an ID badge prompts speculation about a person related to dinosaurs and the Kennedy assassination. Participants suggest various figures, ultimately identifying Luis Alvarez, known for his work on the K-T boundary layer and mass extinctions. The conversation highlights Alvarez's contributions to science, including his investigations into the effects of bullets on the human head. Following this, another guessing round begins with hints leading to Ishi, the last Yahi, which is also successfully identified. The playful banter among participants adds a light-hearted tone to the game.

Correct!

I had a friend who lived right next to the spot where he was found. A monument stands there that tells a bit of the story.
