Good morning, afternoon, and evening. I, and my team, are taking part in a coming free trivia contest in the barren artic of Central Minnesota. In the link provided are 17 visual trivia pictures and any insight, glimmers, or random thoughts you may have would be appreciated. The team sizes have no limit and the contest just for fun so I welcome you all to the greatest team around and thank you for your help. ~John Captain of Some Assembly Required.

Well, #10 is a raspberry bush, I think… It, and several other scans, are impossible to make out. Any chance of getting better ones? ---

#16 is a Petpet, from Neopets. I think it is called a zomutt. ---

Unfortunetly we don’t know the question yet - this is all prework. It could be as simple as “Name all the different actors to play Doctor Who?” to as evil and frustrating as “name the three people in this shot and how many times did each appear in the series?” Maddening I know, but strangely addicting. Thanks for all the thoughts! ~John ---

John, I’m closing this one until you can email me and convince me that this isn’t just a fishing expedition for ideas for a program. Whether it’s commercial or non-profit really doesn’t make any difference. Using the boards for such a purpose is not allowed under our rules. **samclem** GQ modertor ---

Glad this was re-opened. #13 also has Pudsey Bear, the mascot for Children in Need, a sort of annual BBC telethon. #17 looks like one of those statues they used to put up in Soviet countries to honour motherhood. ---

I’m sad to say the originals really aren’t that much better but if you’re interested I can make better scans and email them to you. Feel free to email me at [triviaSAR@yahoo.com](mailto:triviaSAR@yahoo.com) and we can set something up. Thanks for all the great insight so far! Some of the answers are great! ~John ---

One is a picture of a fisherman at the wheel, the other is his wife and children. some information : [http://www.seecapeann.com/see\_gloucester.html](http://www.seecapeann.com/see_gloucester.html) [http://www.schooner.org/tel/localhistory.htm](http://www.schooner.org/tel/localhistory.htm) [http://www.gfwa.org/memorial/site.html#](http://www.gfwa.org/memorial/site.html#) [http://www.ecnnews.com/storm/names.htm](http://www.ecnnews.com/storm/names.htm) ---

#15 is a pic of characters called “House Mouse” or House Mice, I suppose… That same pic is on their official home page - only it has a few hearts added to it for Valentine’s Day. [http://www.house-mouse.com](http://www.house-mouse.com) ---

> [@JudiN2002](#): > > Number seven is in a book called Birds of Eastern and Central North America compiled by Roger Tory Peterson. Um, isn’t that given in the handwritten note below the picture?

He looks really familiar, either as an actor or a business executive. I was trying to help with the author - but true not a genius discovery. These are driving me nuts! I need to figure out all of them!
