    Game
In summary, Gokul posted two pictures of aircraft, one with a stealth plane in it and one with a paramecium. Respondent B correctly guessed the stealth plane. Respondent C guessed the paramecium, and Respondent D guessed the Northrop B-2 Spirit. Gokul posted the next clue, which was a picture of a satellite. Respondent E guessed the correct satellite, a Russian Soyuz. Respondent B guessed the next aircraft, the B-2. Respondent D guessed the Northrop B-2 Spirit again. Gokul posted the last clue, which was a picture of a person. Respondent A guessed the correct person, Kapische?.

Like most young uns, you're quick out of the gate, but no stamina.

My time stamp is obviously incorrect.

I respectfully request a pause to the game so I can go feed the rug rat.

Hey, if you want to pause, I have to read a book for class tomorrow. I would agree to a pause as well. Give me an hour or so, ok?

Actually, maybe you should let this bum acquire some points while there is still some hope in hell for him?

At least I'm not calling an intradiction bomber a fighter. Loser.

Wow, can we limit this game to non-amateurs? :rolleyes:

I think I just threw up a little.

Edit: I am pulling your leg, don't be offended. :wink:

Until, we meet again, bum.

Go read up one Janes...I mean "feed the little one"

I must go and read a story about slavery, "1000 miles for freedom."

Ooh, closer that time, but Cyrus with the points again, and off to an early - but hardly dangerous - lead. You guys are good. And you're not speed-flipping through Jane's are you?

Cyrus - 12 points

Yes, that is a Panavia Tornado.

That is the jet engine(s) of a B-52 bomber, right wing inner pylon.

Edit: No, it's not. The wing's too low and small.

Nice comeback, give him the points on the ICBMS! The fact that he named all of them is impressive to say the least. I just named one and said ICBMs (Though I was first).

But the spitfire is MINE! :devil:

You have redeemed yourself, for now...

Mr. Cyrus, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Okay, where are we ?

Q5. That's a Spitfire Mk Vc - perhaps the most numerously made Spitfire. Some of these were piloted by the Aussies (pretty poorly, I might add), in the Pacific Theater. It is very close to the Mk II and Mk III in airframe design.

Bystander had the right mark, but 3 points go to Cyrus.

Q6. from left to right, we have: Jupiter (IRBM), Thor (IRBM), Titan II (ICBM), Titan I (ICBM) and Thor Agena A (orbital launch vehicle) - I was looking for two or more correct identifications (or equivalent description).

3 points to Bystander

Q7. This is the AC-130 Spectre, as correctly identified by Fred. It's basically, a Hercules modified into a gunship. The bird in the picture is named Azrael - Angel of Death (I had to paint over the name) and saw combat in Desert Storm

3 points to Cyrus

Q8. Yep, that's the B-45, alright - the first 4-engine jet bomber. I don't think any of them saw combat, though the RB-45 version performed recon flights over Korea.

Here's the big picture:

Question 10, Clue #1. I'll take a shot at this one. It looks like the T9E1 75mm autoloader from the B-25G Mitchell.
