Bobby Fisher is best known for being a Chess Master (and something about jail..???).

Does he have a high IQ as well???

Hey, what's WRONG with this picture?

No women. Don't we get tested or something???

There's men from all over the world on this list - and from all over the spectrum of studies.

Oh, I see, it's from an "Estimated I.Q. of Famous People" list and I do see a couple of women. None in the upper numbers though..

Sheesh,

It's not Bobby Fisher...can you guess who is in the picture? Pam, can you pick one of your candidates ? :D

Pam Hoffman said...

Well Marko. Ever since you posted this photo, I got the impression he is Russian (i have no idea why!) so I'll settle on one...

Garry Kasparov
Chess player
Russia
190 << Estimated I.Q.

Imagine that, he's a chess player.

Another WAG!

That's what I've got,

And he's a little crybaby which couldn't cope with losing from IBM's computer, hehe :P.

He's not truly Russian btw Pam but comes from Azerbaijan, former Soviet territory.

That's Gary in the picture, well done Pam! Although he's Azerbaijani, as Slevi wrote, he's actually a candidate for the Russian presidential race of 2008.
