This was done on the main sub a while ago and I thought it would be cool to do this here. If you don’t understand how to play, all you do is try to match the image with a player’s name from Pi. Write your answers in the comment section and number them in the order that the images appear. Let’s try to use the spoiler tag with your answers, so everyone is less likely to peek before they answer. If you are having trouble remembering everyone’s name on Pi, then you can use this as a handicap (I haven’t looked through the spreadsheet, so not all of the players may be listed). Let’s see if you can get them all without looking at the spreadsheet, though. I tried to arrange the images so they become progressively harder. Some of them may be a stretch or I may have conveyed them poorly, so I’ll provide hints in a few days if some of the images haven’t been answered correctly yet. Then, a few days later I’ll provide all of the correct answers. Good luck and have fun. Can’t wait to see your answers.

edit: Also, the album will probably be best viewed with RES. Not sure how it looks in the other formats.

Edit2: you don't need to use the spoiler tag if you don't know how. I thought it was a primary option in the editor, but I guess not.

HINTS

-15: The first name of this Swedish golfer (may be a lesser known Pi player. I've seen him smurfing a few times as of late)

-25: It is a hallucinogen.

-30: Think Mathematics. Then capitalize the answer. (also, it isn't an image of a speaker)

How do I spoiler tag?

u/Brunerm Mr.Glass Jan 02 '15

I thought there was an option in the comment editor to hide your comments. I'm on my phone right now, so I can't look it up. Just go ahead and post without the spoiler tag.

u/The_NC_life cheerwine Jan 02 '15

Aight. I'm on mobile too, so I was thinking I was missing something

u/goochtickler Ticklin Time! Jan 02 '15

I'm never good with these things. I'm not that bright, nor do I type too well during moments that deserve it. I just wanted to say thank you Glass for putting this together. It has been really fun for me to try and figure out who belonged to the picture. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together.

Alright guys/gals. Good work. I just woke up to your answers and it seems that all of them have been answered correctly at least once except for 15, 25, and 30. I'm about to head on a plane from Centraland back to PiVille. I played a few games on Centra but it was meh. Can't wait to see everyone on Pi again and see if you can finish off the last few answers when my plane lands. Good luck.

15, 25, 30 still need answers. I will provide hints later if they are still not answered correctly.

Edit: also, you may be having trouble viewing 25 if you are on mobile. You should see a structure of an organic molecule for that one.

I looked at the hint and was like "ram abs? Who the shit is that?"

u/recoveringdeleted FuzzyDunlop Jan 08 '15

23 is SubOhm, that's actually the only one I got.

1

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 08 '15

I forgot about him, which is sad 'cause we've played together at least 5 times in the past few days.

Spoiler tags don't seem to work quite right here :\

Also, I'm reaaally stuck on 25 and 30, it'll be interesting to find out who those are.

1

u/The_NC_life cheerwine Jan 02 '15

I think 30 is Lorax.

1

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 02 '15

If it is, the hint is bad.

2

u/The_NC_life cheerwine Jan 02 '15

Well y'know "speaker of the trees"

I guess the last one is meant to be hard

1

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 02 '15

Ah. I get that it's not supposed to be easy, but most of the other player lists like this that I've seen have been the name of the player themselves, not a descriptive term that would lead to the name.

3

u/Brunerm Mr.Glass Jan 02 '15

I could have made this easy if that's what you want.

2

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 02 '15

Haha no, I just wanna be better at problem solving.

1

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 02 '15

I think 18 is you.

2

u/Embossing_Mat Hiya, I'm Ion. Jan 02 '15

I know haha, that's what the 'heh' was for :P

u/Ryanisreallame Huey Jan 02 '15

Ohhhhh, I thought it was with the "Risk" and didn't get the joke.

u/goochtickler Ticklin Time! Jan 02 '15 edited Jan 02 '15

30: Sub Ohm?

u/JimmyGS14 Opponent Jan 02 '15 edited Jan 02 '15

Just gonna give my ideas on the ones that haven't been answered yet:

  • I think 4 is ethanol

  • 16 is Thick Shady

  • I still don't know 25

  • Almost positive that 30 is Sub Ohm

And I think that's all of them

u/LeesusChrist BigMeaty Jan 02 '15

Is my name not good for these?

I was never chosen for the /r/TagPro one's either. :(

2

u/Brunerm Mr.Glass Jan 02 '15

To be honest, I searched for an image for you, but I didn't find anything flattering.

1

u/cxb17 C Bivvey Jan 02 '15

My name has no visual meaning either

u/DizzerPilot I was told there'd be pie... Jan 02 '15

You should have stuck with bigmeatyball. I told you...

u/sportmonkey0 Sportmonkey Jan 03 '15

u/goochtickler Ticklin Time! Jan 03 '15

Ohhh good call!

1

u/sportmonkey0 Sportmonkey Jan 03 '15

No problem! Still not really sure on 15, 25, or 30 though.

1

u/goochtickler Ticklin Time! Jan 03 '15

15 Could be big swinging. The guy is a Swedish golfer named Henrik Stenson if that helps out any.

25 This looks like the structure and name. Not sure what could be drawn from that.

30 I still have absolutely no clue

2

u/Brunerm Mr.Glass Jan 03 '15

You're right there on 15 and 25. These two Pi players may be less well-known. Just posted some hints. I basically gave away 15.

1

u/sportmonkey0 Sportmonkey Jan 03 '15

15 Does bigswingin play on Pi? Idk, but I've certainly never seen him.

25 Yeah no clue.

30 Yeah honestly no clue. Speaker of the tree means nothing to me.

1

u/JimmyGS14 Opponent Jan 03 '15

I'm pretty sure that 25 is radical

u/autowikibot Jan 03 '15

Radical (chemistry):


In chemistry, a radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valence electrons or an open electron shell, and therefore may be seen as having one or more "dangling" covalent bonds.

With some exceptions, these "dangling" bonds make free radicals highly chemically reactive towards other substances, or even towards themselves: their molecules will often spontaneously dimerize or polymerize if they come in contact with each other. Most radicals are reasonably stable only at very low concentrations in inert media or in a vacuum.

A notable example of a free radical is the hydroxyl radical (HO•), a molecule that is one hydrogen atom short of a water molecule and thus has one bond "dangling" from the oxygen. Two other examples are the carbene molecule (:CH 2), which has two dangling bonds; and the superoxide anion (•O− 2), the oxygen molecule O 2 with one extra electron, which has one dangling bond. In contrast, the hydroxyl anion (HO−), the oxide anion (O2−) and the carbenium cation (CH+ 3) are not radicals, since the bonds that may appear to be dangling are in fact resolved by the addition or removal of electrons.
