Are you well-informed?

Just received this by e-mail, fascinating to look through:

“There are more than 100 world known personalities on this painting.
If you can name a minimum of 25, you may consider yourself a well-informed person.”

The painting is called “Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante” – by Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, and Zhang

I picked up quite a few, but some are hard to make out. And no, that’s not Mr Malema on the left %-)

How did you do?

[Note: I've updated the image with a high-resolution one that is much easier to see and identify individuals - go ahead and click on it to see]

The answers?

You can get the full list here. There’s also quite a nice list here that shows the name along with each picture.

It wasn’t easy finding all the answers. After a fair bit of hunting, I located the comprehensive list of answers at Projekt Cyan – well done to them for cracking it!

From Projekt Cyan, a numbered picture for ease of use:

At last, no more sleepless nights wondering… :)

    Anybody know who they all are?

    You can find quite a few of them here and here.
