Do we have to know who that guy is?

[5] As I feared. Screw this then. And one more cry in the night against image identification puzzles (although I would have been placated had his signature been legible).

I know exactly who the guy is but can't figure out what to do from there.
*Edit* - Nevermind

[6] I agree. Its nice when you can at least have a chance of figuring it out with out some pre-requisite photo memory.
It would even be acceptable if a google image search of "male tennis pro" or "Tennis star" or "professional tennis" or something would help.... but as far as i can tell... it won't.
If I do manage to solve it, it's definitely getting 1 star for fun.

Was able to identify him using "tennis star" in google images, still trying to solve though ;)

You'll never get it without knowing most of his name, but it's not a bad puzzle.

Well, hubby had to tell me who he was, but very clever once I got the name...

"His nickname is Pistol Pete"
... He's the mascot at New Mexico State University?

[20] Thank you! That got it for me. Was saying his full first name with a New England accent, and it wasn't working.

Thanks [20] - I still don't get it, but your comment was enough salt for me.

It seems a bit of a stretch no?
micronerd
Posted on Tue Oct 02, 2007 09:07 PM |
boo. Not the worst puzzle ever, but DEFINITELY a stretch. However, maybe for tennis-ers it wasn't so bad.

Seemed to work well phonetically for me, so it didn't seem like a stretch because of that.

I am in shock that anyone wouldn't immediately know who this is??? Baffling considering the length of time he was at the top of his sport.
BetaPrime
Posted on Wed Oct 03, 2007 04:29 AM |
I know who he is right away, but I would guess about half of people in US never watched a game of tennis. So not a surprised at all many people don't know who he is.

I know who he is , but none of this s-a-l-t helps

[30], thank you. I never would have gotten that at ALL!! GAH! I see how it's obtained now, but it just looks like garbage. =-/ (sigh)

Wow, got it in only 28 seconds. I guess I was just in the right frame of mind... particularly seeing as so many thought it was too tough.
I guess it helps that I know who the tennis player is.
Salt: First step is to know his full name. Second step is to do as the picture shows. Final step, say it out loud.

This is one of those where you either recognize the image or look for salt.
Since I have absolutely zero interest in tennis, I had to go the salty route.
Otherwise kind of clever.

Worst puzzle ever. Even saying it quickly doesn't sound remotely like the word.
