Hi Lui, happy that you enjoyed the quiz
You are of course correct about the Md / Dm thing.
Originally I just chose his initials, but then after finishing the quiz realised I should have used Md for the element name!
The version I have for sale in my redbubble shop
http://www.redbubble.com/people/chayground/works/9828639-dmitri-mendeleev-ready-and-table
has the correct element initials!

Thanks again!

Hi! it’s great! scientists enjoy it a lot
just one question – why does #11 have Dm written on the table? Is it his initials? Or if you meant the element named by him, it should be Md.

Hello
this is great – I was thinking about ‘mocking up’ a Guess Who game and was looking for pictures. These are ideal.

Let me know if you do anymore

I was thinking that artists would be a good theme, especially if I made each artist in their own style (the Van Gogh, Warhol and Dali ones would be especially fun!

Great work! they are so funny to guess, and the design is also adorable!
I think it would be a great idea if you made one of plastic artists, Van Gogh, Botticelli, Andy Warhol it would be really funny too.
Good luck with your other projects!

Chay, I love your response in #20. Thank you for seeking out those whom history has ellided and bringing them into focus! Please do do another round with some more lesser-known yet deserving scientific figures.

And if you can convince a toy mfr to produce this line of figurines I’d be first in line for the entire set!

You are correct of course Robert. The lack of non white characters is partly my own ignorance of the full gamut of history’s scientists and the fact that my UK education put more emphasis on western science and history. I also felt that to give the quiz broad appeal and to make sure that everyone could get at least a few of the answers right, it made senxe to mainly focus on the famous names, although I also included a few lesser known (but no less worthy) names! Interestingly the female scientists and #7 are the ones that most people had trouble identifying; those that clicked through from the answers to their wiki entries mainly clicked on those particular scientists to find out more about them (which was what I was hoping for!)

I think the other key reason that they are mainly white (and mostly male) is to do with the incredible advantage that being white and male (and not poor) has had over the centuries in terms of the opportunities that have been available because of their sex, relative wealth and their country/continent of birth. It’s also interesting to note that some of the female (and male – Tycho especially) scientists featured were the children of the rich and powerful, giving them opportunities to learn and become scientists, opportunities that weren’t available to a lot of people at the time.

If I do a second quiz at some point I will of course take your comment on board and try to add a few more non-white characters.

Cheers, Chay
