How many can you identify? Let’s try to get it so that the ‘comment section’ starts with #1, and goes down through to #100. To give others a chance, try to submit an entry no more frequently than every 4th or 5th ‘comment’. For this one, answers are going live immediately.
Another neat submission by Bilbao!






























Jesus
#2 Karl Marx
#1 Mohammed
If we are following the numbering system on the picture, and working left to right.
In that case, Karl Marx is #11, and Jesus is #3
#2 Isaac Newton
and, obviously,
#4 Buddha
So now we need #5
By the way, I only count 98 heads…
first thought for #5 was Ghengis Khan, but I think that’s who #21 is supposed to be
#4 Confucious?
1. Mohammad
2. Isaac Newton
3. Jesus
4. Buddha
11. Karl Marx
21. Genghis Khan
35. Napoleon
36. Adolf Hitler
37. Shakespeare
12, 33, 54, 73 Sigmund Freud
5 could be Lao Tse?
6 Moses
# 98 & # 100 look like they are omitted.
Can you find Ghandi or Saddam Hussien ?!
5 is Confucius.
20 is Mao Zedong.
19 is Julius Caesar.
27 is George Washington.
15 is Lenin.
10 could be Einstein.
I think 12 is Pasteur.
8 could be Gutenberg.
This site helps a bit.

i believe #98 is queen elisabeth
#46 really looks like Dom Pedro I (From Brazil)
#68(?) looks like Joan of Arc
#13 John Dee
