    Somehow... amazingly... all 3 bonus points have been awarded!

    I'm impressed people! Seriously impressed.
    While I will not reveal yet who got the bonus points I will say that 2 of you bonus points went to people without perfect scores... This ought to level the playing field a bit for those contestants!

    FYI- only one person has correctly gotten all 3 people so far! many hours left to ponder!

    Oof, I had about five minutes to guess before a friend's wedding. Missing this one, I think.

    I know I shouldn't give hints but I will tell you that the following answer is NOT correct:
    "The man in picture 3 is Kenny G, smooth jazz scientist."​
    Thanks for the laugh though!

    I've got 2 of the 3, but it's gotten to the point where it's no longer fun or enjoyable to learn anymore.

    I knew I would just drive myself insane for the entire day, so I have up on this one pretty early. No regrets.

    Thought the exact same thing, I have no clue who majority of celebrities are by their picture and they are always on television and on covers of magazines, how in the hell am I gonna figure out some scientist. No regrets as well

    Friday was a killer. At least none of the bonus points went to someone who hadn't missed a day and there are no 11s on the board.
