PEEHS - Famous Women Picture Quiz

Hello Forum Gamers,

As both a somewhat belated tribute to International Women's Day (celebrated on 8th March every year), and as part of the fight against COVID 19-induced cabin fever, I've devised a 10-round PEEHS Picture quiz with various women of renown throughout the world.

The goal of PEEHS is to give the least popular answer for each round - the one you think nobody else will submit. You get one point for each (correct) answer you submit, plus an additional point for every other player that submits the same answer. An incorrect answer scores 1.5 times the highest score.

The winner will be the person with the lowest score at the end of the game; if you've ever watched Pointless with Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, then you'll know the drill.

Here's a quick example for any newbies who still may not be sure:

e.g. 10 players are playing and are asked to name a colour.
5 players say red - they each score five points
3 players say yellow - they each score three points
1 player says black - they score one point and should be very happy
1 player says fish - they get 7.5 points and should probably read the question more carefully in future

The usual PEEHS rules apply:

NO GOOGLING: This is an honour-based game. You shall not use the wicked Google machine or any other illicit source for information. Baby Jesus is always watching, and his tears will haunt you in your sleep if you cheat.

NO POSTING ANSWERS/CLUES ON THREAD. Please PM me with your answers.

Spellings aren't too important once there's been a reasonable attempt made; however, any answer along the line of "yer one from that thing" will not be accepted!

Also just to note that the order of the images in each round is completely random, so don't go looking for any patterns (alphabetical, chronological, etc) because you won't find any!

There's no set deadline yet - I'll leave it run until I get enough submissions.

So enough rambling, here are your ten rounds; please choose one name from each round and then PM ME with your list of names.

And best of luck everyone.

This is my first time running a game so I'm hoping I've pitched it at the right level. If it goes well I'll do a male one for International Men's Day (though that's not until November!)
