Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #26 puzzle:

Week #26
Category:Music
Difficulty:Medium
Clue:For this famous pair, talent is simply part of their DNA
Answer:Michael Jackson &
Janet Jackson
Brother and sister, Michael and Janet Jackson. Two talented singers, one talented family. Also, a story of constantly being in the public eye and all of the glamour and tragedy that can come as a result. For my part, I try to ignore all of the celebrity nonsense and focus on the music

Week #25

Difficulty:Hard
Clue:This is not the first time these famous faces have appeared together

The movie Face/Off came out fourteen years ago, but I must admit – when I started making these puzzles, it was one of the first things I thought of. Although even in the movie, we never saw a guy who looked like the picture above

Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution

Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #23 puzzle:

Week #23
Category:Music
Difficulty:Medium
Clue:Young talent abounds with these two
Answer:Justin Beiber &
Shirley Temple
You’ll forgive the fuzzy photoshopping on this one, but it was hard to find a high-quality Shirley Temple picture from back in her child-star days. Still, I was struck by how similar these two’s pre-teen careers have been, and also by how much they look like each other. Coincidence? Um….probably, yeah.

The winner this week was Ilya!
