Lambda-Corps, the picture you identify as Mohammad Ali is actually a photo of a very young Nelson Mandela.

[Guest]

dashcat: On second examination, I believe you are correct.

Also, I'm pretty sure that guy looking right at the camera with the short hair is J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Thanks, Dashcat and Grumpyboy, for sharing all that.

What does it mean?
Some thoughts:
of war and peace....... innovations and revolutions....people and events that have changed history.
Hey, speaking of changing *history*, is there a programming command that changes history?

[grumpyboy]

For completeness sake:

#16. The person between Che Guevara and Fidel Castro is Gen. Raul Castro (vice president and defence minister and Fidel's younger brother)

#39. It's the North Korean army NOT the Chinese army.

#69. The person next to Hitler is Hjalmar Schacht (Commissioner of Currency, President of the Reichbank, and Minister of Economics during the war)

The only one I have not pinned down is #50 (can only guess at it). If anyone can determine EXACTLY what it is, I'd be grateful (if only to satisfy my curiosity - it's been bugging the hell out of me!!)

Oh, and it's grumpyboy with a small 'g' (because I'm not actually grumpy )

[dashcat]

drizjr, I'm not sure what it means. It could just be a trailer for the game to come or it could be the 6th test. There is supposed to be "The Real Game" after we solve the 6 tests.
This is spec grumpyboy ( he gets grumpy if you capitalize his name ) )
posted on cd as to what the pictures in the trailer might mean. It's one of the reasons he's been working so hard on identifying all these photos. It's an amazing job. I spent 2 days trying to identify the skyscraper with no luck.

grumpyboy's spec....

"I've been thinking whether the trailer is, in fact, the next test. But is the following
too much of a coincidence or do I need to take a break from L3? You guys decide:
(this will explain my obcession with identifying the images)

(H) ijacking of TWA 847
(E) arthquake in Oakland
(L) incoln assasination
(P) earl harbour

(J) une 4th crackdown at Tiananmen Square
(A) rch at Wounded Knee memorial
(K) ennedy
(E) ngland's stonehenge

The (A) is a bit of a stretch but some sites did call it an Arch. I agree the
J-A-K-E is a bit weak hence my hesitation.

Anyone?

[Lambda-Corps]

dashcat- I think you're definitely on to something. Using your system, I noticed:

(P)eron, Eva
(A)-bomb
(S)un
(T)itanic

[dashcat]

Lambda-Corps,

I wish it was my system but I'm just the messanger. GRUMPYBOY came up with this idea. We've also found the words MEG and MAPS. Have fun looking!
