Given below are the photos of 12 men – some famous, some virtually unknown to RCB Fans but well known in their geography or in their profession. Not all of them are cricketers or sportsmen. All you have to do is identify them!
ONLY ONE MORE TO GO! VISWANATHAN ANAND MAY HELP!
CONTEST CLOSES AT 11.59 PM ON 21ST JULY 2010 – RCB WEBSITE TIMESTAMP TIME!
Here is the scoring guide:
Got the name right? 50 Points
Don’t know the name but got the profession right? 25 Points
Don’t know their name or profession or sport? There is still a worm hole for you: Can you tell if he is a cricketer or not? 10 points
Your answer falls into more than one of the above? Only the highest will be reckoned for each answer.
Have fun!
Where to answer?
In the comments section, right on this post!
Many winners, but not all are equal!
a)The first correct answer will get full points (50 points)
b)Second correct answer will get 50% of the full points
c)Third correct answer will get 25% of the full points
d)4th – 10th correct answer will get 10% of full points
e)All other correct answers will get 1 point
Bonus Points:
1) There are 4 photos for which the first correct answer will get 50 bonus points! There is a logic behind these 4 photos which will be disclosed only when the final scores are announced.
2) When fans have identified 8 photos, it's 4 more to go - and these, I guess, are the tough ones! Each of these 4 will carry 50 bonus points
Prize ???
Sorry, I am not the person to answer this question! Catch Natasha – she has a huge inventory of goodies in her store!
Cheers. Have fun, again!!
Scoring Example:
a) Let's say Sandeep got Photo 1 right. He gets 50 pts. Kunal did not know the answer to Photo and knowing Sandep is good, he blindly copies Sandep's answer immediately. He gets 25. If Mahesh follows Sandeep and Kunal on Photo 1, he gets 12.5 points.
If Photo 1 is also "marked" for bonus points, Sandeep gets 50 bonus points. Kunal and Mahesh do not get bonus points.
All in all, if Sandeep scores 250 points (excluding bonus point), he gets 50 "Jackpot" points @ 25 for every 100
Sandeep Total Score = 250 (from the answers) + 50 Bonus + 50 Jackpot = 350 points
PS:
I don't have the ability to "Keep It Short & Simple" - I believe some contests should be like IIT Entrance Exams, which I flunked many many years ago!
Flexible Rules:
Rules will keep getting changed throughout the contest to ‘make them more sensible’. Will inform you of changes made via comments section.
If you give multiple answers to the same photo, only the second answer will be considered (isn't it fair to let you change your mind once? We all make mistakes!)
@radiosandeep : The "consideration" is we will give you nd place! Ahead of 3rd placed Harsha who came close to overtaking you.
@Natasha - over to you to decide how many jerseys you will give out - Aditya, RadioSandeep, Harsha is my reco. Though I'm not sure what Sandeep will do with so many jerseys
I'd even suggest Sandeep should get "waiver of rules and direct entry to Last 7 of Podcaster FFC3" as the reward!
@raghunath: is there any consideration for people who couldnt access the net over the last 2 days? :) Lol...
But yeah, frankly, i'm sure Aditya knows more than i do and he deserves to win.

I seriously thought it was some cricketer/businessman when i first saw this pic!
the angle of the shot made it difficult :(
of course we know him :)
This is turning out to be a battle royale between Adity and Sandeep. But if Jackky or Harsha can get a few right, they can pip the two leaders at the winning post.
If you guys are good old Bangaloreans, can't you get the names of a few well known Bangalore scientists and pick from them?
The man in arm chair is no longer alive and had once won the "Wills Made for Each Other" contest!
And the Grand Farookh Engineer of course was a Master strategist who knew how to keep the batsmen in check and stop them from hitting 6s and 4s square off the wicket!
