While this photo used to hang in a room I used to work in when I pretended I was a physicist in college, this footage I had never before discovered which was taken that same day, and features 21 of those seated above.

| Peter Debye looks a bit like Hitler. |

| Wow, great quiz. |

| Excellent idea for a quiz - deserves to be better known! |

| Only got a few by face (Curie, Einstein) and got a bunch of the others based on laws and principles in chemistry and physics. :-D Great quiz! |

| Oh, and I guessed Hitler about eight times for Peter Debye before asking myself why he would be at a scientific conference. |

| Dammit! I was going to try Heisenberg, but I couldn't be sure. |

| Should've guessed Planck, de Broglie, and Debye. 6/29 isn't so bad, though. |

Got 5 (with a couple of guesses), heard of another 3 or 4.
Attending a big conference obviously doesn't lead to fame among the general populace... ;-)

| They wanted to get Schrodinger's cat for the picture, but no one was sure if it was alive or dead. |

| Recognizing these greats by face is nigh impossible, but if you know modern physics, you should be able to guess half of them. |

| This a great quiz. I didn't do well, but I love trying. It's humbling to think of a conference containing this much wattage. Look up the first conference. It had Nernst and Rutherford in addition to many of these attendees. |

| I absolutely love this quiz and the stream of science jokes it has encouraged. |

| Curie sort of looks like Julian Assange. |

| Awesome quiz. If only I was in the zone, I might have remembered Brillouin. |

| Great idea for a quiz, although very difficult. Missed a few that I should have got (Planck, Heisenberg, Dirac) and tried a bunch of other early 20th century physicists which turned out to be wrong. I was very surprised Fermi wasn't there. |

| I tried Fermi too, but then realized he was only 26 years old then... |

| I tried Rutherford, forgetting that he was still conducting experiments in the UK! |

| Isn't it a shame that de Broglie isn't waving? Planck must have been a constant feature at these conferences. |

| Only got four, and I read Einstein's biography not too long ago. Guess I had a total brainfart on that one. :( |

| Man, I should have got Compton, since I took classes in a building named after him for four years... |
