After lot of search, I found the original photo for #6 who seems to be Anthony Moorley.

I still search for Mister #10. Does anyone got a clue?

Greetings

@Ruoman

Thanks,
I have updated the list. Now only number 10 and 111 are left unrecognized.

111 is not part of this community section.

Correct, Thanks Noel.

Also folks, the riddle on the answer sheet reveals the identity of 111. It helps if you are good at cryptic crosswords (which I'm not).

One clue for the identity of number 10 - he is listed as one of the inventors in an Amiga Patent

So #10 in Joseph C. Decuir

Greetings

One last clue, I have it on very good authority "sniwt"

@TrevorDick

"sniwt" in reverse gives "Twins".
So either the Friedens twins name are inverted, or somebody's name is not correct, because he has a twin.

@Ruoman

Correct!

Ah, I knew it!

So Elbox did get the names swapped back in 2001, like I was fearing in post #57 above. Hey, I know how much trouble I always have getting the twins' names right in my own captions.

Best regards,

Even, they weren't totally sure!

I received the following request for help with the Mystery Spaceman Riddle.

"As a non english-native speaker, I find very difficult to solve the riddle of the AWompetition. The fact that he's wearing a spacesuit is relevant or not ?
Are there some "english-language tricks" that you can explain a bit ?
Can you tell me if the mistery amigan appears also in the picture of the 110 people or not ?"

Without giving too much away.

1. The mystery Amigan inside the spacesuit is not a spaceman and, AFAIK has nothing to do with NASA or space travel.

2. The mystery Amiga is not already one of the other 110 people in the picture.

3. The riddle is part cryptic and part general knowledge. Web searching may help with the general knowledge part. The cryptic part is a little more difficult, but should be easy for those who enjoy and understand cryptic crossword clues. (I don't )

I hope that helps?

Well, not really, given the timetable for the prizes.

Community prizes are scheduled to Mid-May.

Is the conquest already finished? I have my sheet almost completed, can I still send it?

@tomazkid

Any news when the results will be published? I am very tempted to see the correct answers and where I went wrong.

Edit: I just received e-mail by AEON. So I know now.
But probably other people would be interested in the answers as well.

Regards
