6. Hans Bethe
7. Francis Crick
8. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

1. Richard Feynman: Dead
2. Stephen Hawking: Alive, barely
3. Linus Pauling: Dead
4. Francis Watson: Dead
5. Stephen Jay Gould: Alive
6. Hans Bethe: Dead
7. Joseph Crick: Dead
8. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar: Dead
9. Shirley Jackson: Dead
10. Lise Meitner: Dead

Link: most but not all of the ones that I recognize are physicists. All of the ones that I recognize are published authors (mostly science, with one exception), and most have speculated on 'origins ' so I will guess that all of them are people who have been noted for speculations on the origins of life.

Oh, joy, physicists. I'll be starting this one off with a bang. Couldn't you at least have put like Newton or Kepler in there for me? Ha!

1. Richard Feynman - dead
2. Stephen Hawking - alive
3. Linus Pauling - dead
4. Francis Watson - alive
5. Stephen Jay Gould - dead
6. Hans Bethe - dead
7. Joseph Crick - dead
8. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar - dead
9. Shirley Jackson - dead
10. Lise Meitner - dead

I know a few of these are scientists, but I don't think Shirley Jackson is. The Shirley Jackson I know was an author.

Let's say the theme is they have all written books.

Some of these people are physicists, some are chemists, one's a biologist, one is a fiction writer as far as I know. Some have won Nobels, some have not. The ones I know are all published authors, so I'll go with that.

Do you mean JAMES Watson & FRANCIS Crick?

[mrkelley23]

Yes, I did mean James Watson and Francis Crick. I'll edit now, then figure out a way to grade later.

[fantine33]

Are we allowed to make comments in thread after we answer or is it only for responses?

I actually looked up Chandrasekhar since I thought I knew him (I didn't, I was thinking of a forensic psychologist, who is a lot younger).

But I think I might know the theme now. It's a guess, because I didn't look up anybody else. I'm aware that it doesn't count since I already answered (not to mention that I only thought of it after I read a blurb on the guy).

Spoiler

They are all Nobel Prize winners?

Looks like I forgot how to count too.

From what I can tell, not only did I miss numbering correctly, I didn't answer the 'real' number 10.

Here are what my answers should be: (adding names so I don't get confused....again)

1. Richard Feynman - Dead (orig 1)
2. Stephen Hawking - Alive (orig 2)
3. Linus Pauling - Alive (orig 3)
4. James Watson - Dead (orig 5)
5. Stephen Jay Gould - Alive (orig 6)
6. Hans Bethe - Alive (orig 7)
7. Francis Crick - Dead (orig
8. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekha- Dead (orig 9)
9. Shirley Jackson - Alive (orig 10)
10. Lise Meitner - Alive (orig not answered)

Throw this all out if you want though. Perhaps I should just play silently along with the rest of you.
