Happy Anniversary Challenge!!

Welcome: Well as you will have read in @TraciC 's recent announcement, it’s Connect’s 5th Birthday and we’re celebrating through the month of July, in more ways than one! On this, you can check out the events list in the month long celebration of Connect’s 5th Birthday and here is the first event on the list of monthly events. This is a simple and fun challenge for all you celebration loving Local Guides.

The challenge: As you can see, the illustration above includes a number of caricatures (12 to be exact) at a celebration party, and no, it’s not the last supper :joy: ! Each of the 6 male and 6 female caricatures (just in case you had difficulty in determining the sexes), represent a specific Local Guide here on Connect and your job is to name those Local Guides! Simple hey!!!

How to enter: Add your entry in a comment on this post. Just add a simple list numbered 1 to 12 with the name of the Local Guide starting with the lady in heels on the left at no 1. (Added: 3 July 2021 - For clarification on what is meant by a list please see this comment and a more recent example here by Local Guide @katydarhel ). Edited: 7 July: There’s no need to say how you got your answers, I mean let’s not give too much away, don’t spoil it for others and let everyone work it out for themselves but that’s up to you! Please explain your answers! Also, feel free to discuss or ask questions and share your thoughts in the comments.

**image.pngEdited 12 July:**Entries in this Happy Anniversary Challenge close on 31 July, 2021 after which we will find out which Local Guide each of the 12 caricatures represent :slightly_smiling_face:

Clues: Well to start with, here’s a BIG clue. As well as all the clues in the illustration itself, search through “some posts” (hint, hint) here on Connect and you might be able to find a few other clues! If you can’t find them by searching then feel free to come up with your best guess as to who you think each of the Local Guides at this farty might be :wink: You just never know you might get lucky!!!As time goes on more clues will be provided in the comments on this post but please note my comments may be edited for corrections so keep checking in! For hot, hot, hot clues in the comments here, look for the new Connect badgeAdamGT_0-1625537521342.png

Added 4 July 2021: If you’re fairly new to Connect, together with all the clues, you can work quite a lot out by using common basic knowledge about Connect such as it’s structure and how to search. Articles like the following will be helpful:

Of course, the clues given both here and through the commentary will be the most helpful. With all this and some logic you should be able to work it out :wink:

A prize: Did I hear you ask about a prize! Hmmm. Well you’ve all got blue socks but I’m happy to send you out a pair of my socks if you insist hahaha :rofl: Only kidding! So here’s the deal! All scored entries will be named and featured at the end of the month! The rules are simple! Only one entry per person and please, no cheating :angry:

Edited: 3 July 2021 - While only one entry per person is allowed, you can change your mind and edit your entry at any time up until the winner(s) is/are announced which will be at end of July.

ps: The judge’s decision is final…and I’m the judge on this one haha :sweat_smile: . The correct answers are written in an envelope in my drawer here hehehe :sunglasses:

Happy 5th Anniversary to all

Dear @AdamGT ,
I will try to guess. So from left to right: 1) unfortunately there are no options 2) @AmberCoeCEO , she was in the May illustration 3) @Spricki1 , there are doubts, but level 7 matches, hairstyle and mustache the same 4) there are no options 5) @Wayne_B , level 6 and beard match 6) @Ewaade_3A , participant of the June illustration 7) @Herve_Andrieu , level 10 and beard 8 ) @AdamGT , here I am 100 percent sure 9) @Julien44 , connect moderator and in the post Meet a Connect Moderator he is wearing a pink shirt 10) I think this is @kasunaaa , it would be stupid dont’t draw themself :grinning: , the level is the same 11) here I have no doubt that this is a participant in the March illustration, she is me - @katydarhel 12) I dare to assume that this is @RiyaM , I recognize the green sweater.

Danke @katydarhel , dass du mich im Foto von @AdamGT erkannt hast. Ich persönlich glaube nicht, diese Ehre zu haben, unter so vielen LG ausgesucht worden zu sein.

Ich habe keinerlei Ahnung, nach welchen Kriterien ich suchen könnte? Vielleicht hat es etwas mit den abgebildeten Abzeichen und den top100 - Ranglisten von @AdamGT zu tun.?

Danke @AdamGT für diese weitere lustige Aufgabe.

Hallo @Spricki1 ,
ich bin nicht sicher, dass Sie ist. Aber einige Ähnlichkeiten sind anwesend. Ich glaube nicht, dass gibt es einige besondere Kriterien als Flaggenfarbe oder Nummer in der Wertung. Ich denke, es gibt einen Moment der Zufälligkeit.

Happy Anniversary @kasunaaa sorry I forgot to tell you about this surprise post :wink: I guess to be fair I think both you and I are the only two Local Guides here that have to be excluded from entering :joy:

Happy Anniversary @SholaIB

You raise an interesting question. On this occasion the color of their clothes gives no indication or clue about their country. Yes more clues will progressively come out as we go along. Seek and you shall find the answers

@katydarhel he! really, is that character really looks like me? :joy:

@AdamGT I know most LGs represented by each character. I would have won this easily if I could participate the game. But have no chance!

Hi @AdamGT ,

Deine Idee :bulb: mit einem Preis für die Sieger greife ich gerne auf!

Meine Mama (84) strickt unglaublich gerne alles mögliche. Vor allem Socken :joy: . Wir wissen schon nicht mehr, wie wir ablehnen könnten, welche mitzunehmen. :wink:

Gerne spende ich einige Paare.

How fun is this, @AdamGT ?!?!? I have to admit, I was looking for the person taking a selfie hoping to see @LuigiZ but I used the great clues you shared to determine that it is NOT Luigi with the red hair. Hmm, this is going to be tough but FUN!!! Did you create this? It’s beautiful!

@AdamGT This is great fun! Some of the figures have their Local Guides badges on so we can check to see what level they are at! And two (as far as revealed) are Connect Moderators!

Yes, @kasunaaa it really seems to me that you are a little looks like character # 10 (from left to right). I set myself the task of recognizing all the characters, and therefore, if someone somehow approached, I put forward this version. And one more thing that surprised me, yesterday I was looking for character # 3 at level 7, and today I was surprised to find that character # 3 is level 10. I was surprised at my absent-mindedness. Although most of all it seems to me that character # 3 is similar to @TerryPG , although the level is not the same.
And I’m also surprised that level 11 has appeared.

Hi @AdamGT ,

oh this is a super fun challenge and I do have some ideas looking of the cartoon faces, plus of course your nice hint about the badges :yum: .

Oh I see @TraciC which one you guess me, actually I didn’t even notice he was holding a phone at first shot but well, the serious one … would be funny to see myself with a red beard :joy: , the funny one … he seems taking a selfie to himself or with the lady behind, I should have been in front of the complete group :laughing: .

Well it is quite difficult indeed, @AdrianLunsong do you think Adam played tricky by inserting only 2 Connect Moderators badges or using the Local Guides badges too :sweat_smile: … and I’m also not sure who are those 2 mods, maybe the one with the wine looks like you although I would have rated an Italian one due to the glass of wine ?!? And the one quite elegant … mmm, really can’t guess him (maybe @Julien44 ?). The guy behind them is definitely @kasunaaa :grin: , and the lady behind the selfie might be @Ewaade_3A .

Looking forward to more hints :kissing_closed_eyes: .

Wow @Spricki1 your 84-year old mother’s knitted socks…its very kind of you. Let me give that some thought as this being a global community there would be distribution costs, unless of course the winner(s) are themselves in beautiful Austria or would love to holiday there to personally pick them up :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m glad you appreciate the feature @Ewaade_3A and wish you well with solving this puzzle :wink:

Hey @TraciC I’m really impressed that you actually picked up the fact that, let’s call him Romeo for the point of discussion, was taking a “selfie”. As I wish to answer you I am compelled to spill some beans here. It was deliberately made difficult to miss this “selfie” with most everyone else having their hands in the air and toasting while shouting out Happy Anniversary Connect and with much joy :wink: So yes it was indeed intended that Romeo would be taking a group photo of the partygoers however this turned out to be difficult to show this way in the illustration, especially when the clock was fast ticking down and I wanted to publish ASAP. Having said that, I must confess that there was a little bit of maneuvering at the very last minute and I need to leave further comment on this until I reply to @katydarhel further down in the comments here. Thank you, yes other than the actual graphics, I am responsible for this and wanted to kick the celebrations off with a bit of fun, but there is also a hidden agenda. I have to say that no one not even the artist or @AdrianLunsong new about all this until after it was posted. On a final note, as I suggested in another forum, as this is an all inclusive celebration, my hope is that both Google and Connect Moderators would also have a go which would make this even more fun for all :wink: More clues to come :sunglasses:

image.pngHmmm red hair…well this is a party. People do all kinds of things when they attend major celebrations. Just saying :wink:
