I believe the correct answer to the contest question is:

The man in the photo is Charles Fey, the inventor of the slot machine.

Thank you for the contest!

Sorry that I put it in the incorrect forum earlier today.

Good job Sassy1

Geeze! That was fast! Every time I think I have something that will stump everyone - bam! - someone gets it within minutes


Here was the question: who is this guy and why is he significant (relatively speaking).

Like Sassy1 said, it's Charles Fey (a Bavarian BTW) who invented the Slot Machine...in San Francisco 1887

My Grandfather?? This guy would have been my great great grandfather, and he didn't wear glasses

So please PM me your wish - Beer or cash. If it's beer, I need an address - if it's cash, preferably a Paypal account will suffice

I think the only way to stump people around here long enough would be to ask questions like,
What is the continuim of galactic space and time converted to a mathmatical equasion that follow the rules of x+y=pie,
even then i expect somebody would get the answer

FYI the answer is 42

LOL at zebedy!

Thank you so much for the contest!
