We need about 30 having a go to cover all bases with these clues.

We start with the shotgun, and hone it down to the stiletto

Next "Who am I" will start something like this:

"I drove a car once....."

And when we get that one, the next will be......"I was born."

I already feel like they start like that.

Where ?

"I raced for a Europe-based F1 team" would be a good start too

Yeah, and there are at least twice that many not mentioned yet.

We'll try to make the hints less reliant on luck and if you have any suggestions I would like to hear them.

In the meantime ....

The 2nd hint is:

I am a podium finisher

The initial question usually covers about 20 drivers; sometimes more than that in cases like the current question. On average 7 people post their picks. That means we initially HAVE TO rely on luck. After the second clue we really start to get in the game...

That said, I am not complaining. It's fun! Don't care if I never get one right...

As for suggestions... Maybe you could hint at a certain past GP and the incidents therein. Or perhaps refer to a particular year... Of course those might necessitate dropping the team name. I dunno, just an idea

Or perhaps a snapshot from a past GP where we get to guess the year or the car(s) or the driver(s) in that particular frame?

I think Ed is having fun laughing at us all attempting to figure out what he is thinking.

gkaytaz · Post by **gkaytaz** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 9:52 pm

Wait, I got one correct, right? Forgot about that

Okay, make

Yeah I agree it is a lot of fun... even if we get it wrong.
Originally I thought it would help to have more F1 knowledge than I have but it looks like guessing is working as well as anything else.
Of course combined with a bit of knowledge.

Michael Schumi

I was suprised no one put in Michael in the first round!

Just a comment, not saying if it is right or not until tomorrow

I will try to make the next "Who Am I" a bit different then we'll see which style you prefer more!

Yes he is the obvious but last time I put the obvious I was wrong.
