    LOL! They don't look alike. That is the same image. Either we had the wrong picture or the folks on that page do. Same name, country, profession and nearly contemporaries! :)

    Doesn't affect the puzzle though. The clues point pretty clearly to the general not the colonel. So we give Soka a pass on this one, eh? :tongue

    Sorry, I did not previously look for the image that you posted. I was simply making light of the 'All X look alike' statement, (where X = 'favorite' group). I went by the horde of Charles Stuarts on the wikipedia page & my own knowledge of a subset of those including the 'Boy King', the 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' and others.

    Here's where I got the pic. Note legend at the bottom. Yes, it is the same picture, but with epaulets and brocade added! George Romney is a famous painter, so I doubt that that attribution is wrong, but yes, there's something fishy certainly! :cool:

    This puzzle is to keep ourselves busy until we get the blockbuster puzzle from Gauri. Forgive me if it is too easy or if I am jumping the order as I couldn't live a day without having an unsolved puzzle in this thread.

    Vaidehi,

    It must be pretty late in Australia and take it easy. If a young mind like you feel that way, imagine what I go through with challenges from Deepslikes, Gauri, JAG, Rihana and Soka. If Aria alias Oriana joins,the challenge will be even more.

    Isn't it fun going through the puzzle and learning more about people? Soka is a great teacher to learn how to construct a puzzle and his explanation of the last puzzle is a perfect example.

    Yes Sir, pretty late.

    Most of the time what Aria writes or saying is beyond my comprehension, same goes with soka. I need to google just to find the meaning of many of vocabularies they use and in addition have to solve puzzles:idontgetit:

    Easy, but I wanted to try solving puzzles with minimal googling too, so the easy puzzles help in that. Got the answer to this right away, but had to google the connection to the musical instrument, and the big last picture.

    Didn't yet get the exact connection to the premier.. And the toddler.. I am thinking Kennedy child at funeral? Pro'lly I am wrong, and it is a wedding! :shock:

    In another lifetime, when much younger, once had a thought-provoking discussion about such dedication with a Sir. Interesting, what can invite controversy and criticism at same time as admiration. Dekho lilaa vidhi ke vidhaan ki. Behold how nature/fate/destiny dispose.
