    Saw this on Good Mythical Morning and it looked like it might be a bit of craic.

    I have yet to completely nail down rules but I think they will work to start.

    I Google someone's first name, E.g. 'Reggie', and tell you the name.

    You then have 3 collective guesses at the person's full name, so discussion is welcome.

    So in this case, I'd Google Reggie, and tell you guys the first name is Reggie and you'd have three goes to guess that it's Reggie Fils Amie, CEO of Nintendo America.

    Rules subject to change depending on how easy or hard the game turns out to be. Will ask a mod to tidy this up when we get sorted, please post rule suggestions and I'm struggling to balance this.

    So to start:

    Tom

    I assume you pick from the list of Toms that come up tho. Like Hanks and Cruise are the most famous but, too obvious!

    Nope it was actually Tom Cat from Tom and Jerry, but I'd have accepted Tom Cruise as the first real person.

    Tom Anderson, founder of MySpace came up as No. 2 which I was surprised by.

    Would it be better to have 3 questions or guesses do you think?
