1. Faraday, Gregory, Higgs? Am I on the right track?

2. French salad, Gorgonzola cheese, Hungarian goulash perhaps I’ll try a bit later 😉

   Cookin’ on gas, Sheona!

   Still cookin’, Soutie? 🙂

4. Imhotep, Jefferson, Kipling, Lincoln.

   To quote LW, please sir! Higgs is cheating, he’s still alive!

5. Erm. Muggeridge, Nelson, Oppenheimer, Pericles.

   Or am I missing something again?

   OZ

6. Quasimodo, Rambo, Satan, Tinkerbelle

   CO and OZ be careful, if you upset sir you will be sitting in the corner with the other FAILURES.

7. Now come on LW, that a piss take!! R,S and T are all very much alive.
   Rambo is in Hollywood, Satan is currently in Syria and Tinkerbelle is at the bottom of my garden!

   Rutherford, Swift and Tzu.

8. Please sir, the rules didn’t stipulate dead or alive. Christina’s being awkward, sir. I don’t want to sit next to her!

9. OK, Christina, how about Haydn? Is he dead enough?

10. Urey, Van Allen, Wigner.

11. Actually. apart from #10 we are all wrong.
    We were asked to find three in the sequence and we all found four! Ooops!
    The sequence were all dead men who had contributed something to the bank of world knowlege, no living or females cited. So I’m pushing sheona off the bench and throwing myself off the other end!!

    You do realise that LW is going to find an inexhaustible list of obscure physicists to last for weeks?

    Xerxes, Yevele, Zandonai
    (Talk about obscurity?!)

12. Harold Urey was a Chemist.

13. Archimedes, Barnard, Curie

14. LW I swear you only do it to confuse the natives!

    Soutie, Curie was a woman! Try reading#9!

    Dowding, Erasmus, Freud.

15. Morning Mrs O, I know, her husband (Pierre) was also a recognised scientist 😉

16. Ref #11, exactly. The 11+ exam was made of this stuff. Muggeridge is out – he was a pain in the *rse. 😉

17. It’s a wonder any of us passed!

18. CO, yes. I’m afraid all the current generation’s answers have to be multiple-choice and present hardly opportunity for initiative at all.

19. But moving on………….Adam, Zeno, Bohr, Yale, Curie, Xanthippos, Darwin…..

    Same rules but you’ll need to find the common link! 🙂

20. Janus :

    Same rules but you’ll need to find the common link!

    This like playing Chinese poker. The rules change as you play 🙂

    So, Weber, Erasmus, Von Neumann, Foucault

21. Tut, tut, FEEG! 3 please! 🙂

22. Uzi, Glock, Thompson

23. Janus :

    Tut, tut, FEEG! 3 please!

    As I said, Chinese poker 🙂

24. Hobbes, Schuster, Iliffe

25. Johnson, Reagan, Kennedy

26. What was the link y’all discovered before naming names? My names were all ‘firsts’ in their field. If you didn’t spot that, well, what can I say?

    LW, if you were following Christina, Johnson is NOT the next! 🙂

27. Janus: Roosevelt, Johnson, Quayle (VP’s this time)

28. OK. I’ve resolved not to set the class such difficult tasks this year. Strictly Janet and John from now on….
