I would like to suggest something here.. Questions like this are mostly pointless in a contest like this.

Ideally, questions in this type of contest which are conducted entirely online should be non-googlable.
If that is not fully possible, we can at least make some connect type of questions which should be somewhat difficult to get straight from the net.

Take this question itself. People will either find it too difficult, wont know any person in the pic, and leave the question without attempting.
Or, people just google the images, find the answer and give it. For instance, I used the image search function of Google, and got all those I didnt know.
I knew about half of the guys myself.. For the other half, I just googles.

So.. Just felt like saying..
