We have a challenge for you! Here is a list of 103 famous historical figures. It will open in a separate window. It's a PDF file, so you can print it if you want.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify as many of the people on the list as you can, who all appear in the photo below. The list is alphabetical, and does not correspond to the order that people appear in the picture.

Clicking on the photo will enlarge it substantially. (Clicking again reduces it). You can then scroll left and right, and up and down, to see everyone in the photo.



When you're ready, open this photo with all the people numbered:



You can toggle back and forth between the enlarged photo and the page with the names, if you want. But it's much more satisfying to print the list and check them off one by one as you find them. Here's a blank checklist you can print and use to record your guesses.

[Serious about this challenge? Here's a poster sized copy of the photo you can print. It's a 9.33 zipped download]

See how many people you can identify correctly. Some are very obscure; an average score is about 40 out of 103 correct. When you're done and ready to see how you did, here are the correct answers.
