Hello

Je vous propose un nouveau jeu de recherche. Il s'agit de poser une série de questions concernant une personne célèbre (peintre, chanteur, acteur, écrivain...), afin d'en faire une mini-biographie.

Comme tout, ce jeu est perfectible alors n'hésitez-pas à l'agrémenter.

Je commence, en anglais, s'il vous plait.... Serena, si tu veux bien corriger mes erreurs... Merci

I'm fond of "Queen" and his lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Can you give me some answers to these questions :

1. When was Freddie born ?
2. What was his real name ?
3. When was the first album of Queen released ?
4. How much did Queen earn in July 1972 per week ?
5. What is the name of their album released in November 1974 ?
6. What is the name of their thirteenth album with the famous song "Radio Ga Ga" in ?

It's really easy to find these answers.

Now, let’s know a bit more about a writer I like very much for his books are all full with wisdom and thoughts for a "good" life: Paolo Coelho.

1) Where is he from?
2) When and where was he born?
3) What’s the title of the book that made him become well known?
4) He’d been committed in a lunatic asylum because his father thought he was mad. How old was he at the time?
5) To talk about the bad memories of those days in the asylum, he wrote a book. What’s its title?
6) Where does he live at this very moment?

See you later!

Hello!

Good! I see that you know Coelho very well. Yes, he's a wonderful personality.

Jardin, in fact, he presently lives in France, exactly in Tables, next to the Lourdes. I had this information from Trebor24.
See, once someone gives ideas that go against the others' beliefs, he's said to be a fool.

Pablo Picasso's father was a painter too (I see you said a lot about him), and when he saw Pablo's perfect work, he recognized his son's amazing talent, handed him his brush and palette and declared that he would never paint again.

At the age of 16, she came in Paris to learn singing but she abandoned her idea. She married Archibald Christie at 22 years old, Colonel in the Royal Flying Corps. During the First World War, she worked as a pharmacist in the hospital of Torquay. This job influenced her in the description of lots of murders in her books. She wrote her first book, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles", because she bet with her sister. In this book, she introduced "Hercule Poirot", the famous Belgian detective. This first book was only published in 1920. She divorced in 1928. In 1930, Agatha Christie married Sir Max Mallowan, a British Archaelogist. Later, she liked to say her second husband loved her because she was getting old. She travelled with her second husband, and her trips allowed her to describe lots of settings in her books. She also wrote romances under the pseudonyme Mary Westmacott. She was granted the title of "Dame Commander of the British Empire" in 1971. She made die Hercule Poirot in "Hercule Poirot's Last Case" published in 1975. She had published an announcement about Poirot's death in 1974. She had published more than eighty books! She often wrote two books a year. Most of her books have been filmed. Her last book was "Sleeping Murder", published in 1976.

Hello Post-scriptum & Everybody,
Congratulation Grabuge & Joy.

I've read today that there is a crater in the moon called Avicenna.
Avicenna (Ibn Sina) was a physician, philosopher, and scientist. He is considered by many to be "the father of modern medicine" & whose work had a direct impact on the Renaissance.

1) What's his complete name? When and where was he born?
2) How old was he when he succeeded in curing the king of Bukhara (Nooh Ibn Mansour) of an illness in which all the well-Known physicians had given up hope?
3) What is his famous book in medical science?
4) Who translated this book into Latin in the twelfth century?
5) Who said: "Avicenna is the most famous scientist of Islam and one of the most famous of all races, places, and times".

Good luck.

Bon, récapitulons vos trouvailles et les miennes

Ray Charles was born in Albany (Georgia, in the United States) on September 23th, 1930, and named Ray Charles Robinson.

During his childhood, he lost his little brother who got drowned in a bathtub just in front of him, and all his life he'll feel responsible for his brother's death.

When he was 7, he began losing his eyesight and was sent to a blind an deaf school. He studied compositions and learnt to read and write music in Braille.

Ray Charles Robinson changed his name in 1949 when he began working as a musician in the show business. He wanted to avoid confusion with Sugar Ray Robinson who was a boxer. Then, he shortened his name to Ray Charles.

The song "Georgia on my mind" was written in memory of the country he came from. At that time, black people weren't allowed to go to concerts, only whites, ans because of that, he refused to sing the first time he came back to Georgia for a concert. Thanks of him, things were changing ! This song was adopted as the official song of the State of Georgia on April 24, 1979.

On December 1981, he received a star on Holliwood Boulevard's .

Ray's Testimonials:
" He had an enormous effet on my career " (Elton John)
" I was so nervous to be in the same studio as Charles" (Johnny Mahtis)
"He's the only genius in our business" (Frank Sinatra)
" He could see a great lot better with his blind eyes than many others with their good eyes." (James Brown)

Bonjour Grabuge, Joy et Tubereuse!

Et voilà, je suis encore en retard.
Décidément,...

Grabuge, je suis d'accord avec Joy. J'allais justement répondre 84 ans.
J'ai calculé ainsi:
- En 1924, Raymond a épousé Cissy qui est plus âgée que lui de 18 ans donc elle avait 54 ans ( plus de détails : (1924-1888)+18 = 54)
- En 1954 , elle est morte donc elle avait 84 ans : ( 1954-1924) +54 =84

Voilà! Alors Grabuge...

Ou alors, est-ce qu'elle était âgée de 114 ans ?

En effet, elle avait 84 ans à l'heure de sa mort.

1 Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago on July 23, 1888.
2.He grew up in England after the divorce (already) of his parents.
3. His first novel appareared in 1939 and its tittlie is "The Big Sleep)
4. His wife nicknamed Cissy passed away after a lengthy illness in 1954.
5. During the last year of his life, R. Chandler was president of the Mystery Writers of America.
6. He died from pneumonia on March, 1959
7. R. Chandler is best known for his private detective Philip Marlowe.
The name originating from the English 16th century writer Christopher Marlowe, who had a violent temper.

- la question 5: cette année 2005 il a publié un nouveau roman : la suite de Et si c'était vrai.

La question 2: L'âge est juste mais tu n'as pas dit comment il a commencé à écrire ( qu'est-ce qui l'a poussé à écrire).

Mais à part ces petites erreurs, c'est parfait ( encore ). Vous êtes

Quel beau travail !

Kathleen, ce serait bien de faire le point sur toutes ces infos. Je veux dire rassembler dans un resumé ce que vous avez recueilli sur Marc Lévy.
Je l'aurais fait, mais je dois y aller, tu vois. Dommage.

Tu fais du beau boulot là, ma jolie.

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen
I'd really like to tell you a little bit more about one of the person I look at in admiration, Marie Curie.

So, could you answer the following questions :

1)Where and when was Marie Curie born ?
2)What was her maiden name ?
3)What did she do when she arrived in Paris (in 1891) ?
4)When did she marry Pierre Curie ?
5)When did she get the Nobel Prize for Physics ?
6)Who shared this Prize with her ?
7)What did they discover ?
8)Well, she was the first woman……. Guess what ?????
9)What was awarded to her in 1911 ?
10)When and where did she die ?
11)So, what can we say about her, as regards the Nobel Prizes she received ?

Many thanks in advance,
PS (): I'll keep an eye on you !!!!!!

Ok Serena, j'avais oublié.

Voilà le petit résumé:

Marc levy was born on October 16, 1961 in Boulogne ( France).
He was an architect and at 38 years old, he invented a story for his son, Louis, under pressure from his sister Lorraine (a scriptwriter), it was “Et si c’était vrai”. And that was how he became a writer. His first novel was a success. And for that, Marc Levy received the Price Yves Gibeau in 2004. Apart writing, he has a second passion which is the cinema. He would have plans in the cinema .
He was very famous thanks to his novels which are :
*Et si c'était vrai : 2000
*Où es-tu ? : 2001
*Sept jours pour une éternité : 2003
*La prochaine fois: 2004
*Vous revoir: 2005
And now, he lives in London with his son.

Je reviens Marie pour Marie Curie.

See you soon.

.....Marie nous met à nouveau sens dessus dessous !

J'ai lu vos réponses et je propose à mon tour :

1) Marie Curie was born in November 7th, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland.
2) Her maiden name was Marie Sklodowska.

3) In 1891, Marie entered the Sorbonne in Paris.
To meet the expenses for fees, books and living she had to work caring for the laboratories.

4) She married Pierre Curie on July 25th, 1895.
5) She won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903.
6) Her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel shared the Prize with her.
7) They discovered natural radioactivity in radium and polonium.

8) She was the first woman:
- Scientist in history
- In Europe to receive a doctorate of science,
- To ever teach at the Sorbonne,
- To receive two Nobel Prizes (in Physics and Chemistry), as yet the only woman to be so honoured.
- Who has been laid to rest under the famous dome of the Pantheon in Paris for her own merits.

9) She was honoured with a Nobel Prize for Chemistry for determining the atomic weight of radium. By doing this, she discovered a cancer therapy.

10) On July 6, 1934, she died in Sallanches (France) on July 4, 1934.
(Some documents say in Paris, others in Savoy....)

11) She was coined as : "This tiny woman with her decigram of radium turned the world upside down, forever changing the way we look at, understand, and use our environment."
When she received the nobel prize in physics, she’s been told: "Yes She Can". (Maybe on the name of all the women of the world?)

6) When did the first comic strip of Mickey Mouse was brought out in magazines?


For n°7, you’re all right. He won the Academy Awards for "Flower and Trees" in 1932. But why did this movie led him to that nomination?

Great Grabuge !!

I know it's very hard, though I didn't mean to make you suffer so much, but only a little.

Let's sum up all this now.

Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, in the Unites States. His surname "Disney" is an English form of "D'Isigny".
He spent his early childhood in Chicago but he moved at 5 years old to a farm in Marceline Missouri. He got married to one of the studio’s employees, Lillian Bounds, who coloured "Mickey mouse".
In 1926, he created his very first cartoon character: Oswald, the lucky rabbit.
Thus, Mickey Mouse made his screen debut in Steamboat Willie, the world's first synchronized sound cartoon, which premiered at the Colony Theater in New York on November 18, 1928. Its first comic strip was brought out in magazines on January 13, 1930. It was created by UB Iwerks.
In 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees won Walt the first of his studio's Academy Awards for it was the first color cartoon realeased at the time.
On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated musical feature, premiered at the Carthay Theater in Los Angeles.
Walt Disney used to sell drawings to neighbours to make extra money. He died on December 15, 1966.

6. There are 24 books. The one that couldn’t be finished for "death grounds" () is "Tintin and Alph-Art" (Tintin et l'Alph-Art). It’s been published in 1986, so, 3 years after Hergé died.

7. Tintin's books have been translated in 45 languages.

8. "Tintin and the Golden Fleece" (Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'Or) was released in 1961. In the film, Jean-Pierre Talbot played Tintin’s part.

Hello Joy!

Ben... Ce n'est pas étonnant que je sois en retard, n'est-ce pas?

Et il reste toujours une question à trouver... ce qui n'est pas étonnant non plus avec Joy. ( )
J'ai beaucoup cherché et je retrouve toujours 1961 comme Grabuge et Serena , plus précisément december 6, 1961 .
Mais comme tu dis que c'est faux!

Au fait, Grabuge et Serena.

See you soon! ( il faut que quelqu'un trouve cette réponse )

Mille excuses les filles mais il s'agit bien du 6 décembre 1961 .
Suite à vos réponses identiques, j'ai cherché sur un autre site et j'ai eu confirmation que cette date est bien correcte
Je suis confuse
Résumons

Georges Remi was born on May 22, 1907 in Etterbeek (Brussels - Belgium). As pseudonym he choose Hergé because of the the reverse initials (GR ==> RG).
"Tintin et milou" were created in november 1st, 1928 and appeared for the first time in the "Petit Vingtième" , daily newspaper.
His first Tintin's book was "Tintin au pays des Soviets" and it was published in the beginning of September 1930.
He met a Chinese called Tchang Tchong-Yen who made him discover China’s realities. Then Hergé published" Le Lotus Bleu" in 1939.
There are 24 Tintin's books translated in 45 languages.
His last book was "Tintin et l'Alph-Art" but because of his illness he didn't finished it and this posthumous book was published 3 years after his death.
"Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'Or" was released on December 6, 1961 and Jean-Pierre Talbot played Tintin’s part.
On March 18, 1981 he met for the second time, Tchang Tchong-Yen in Brussels. It had been more than fifty years since they hadn’t seen each other.
Hergé died on March 3,1983 in Brussels, after a week in a coma because of a heart failure caused by the leukaemia from which he suffered.
On August 31, 1988, was the Stockel station of the Brussels metro inaugurated. It's decorated with a double fresco mural in which Hergé had collaborated since the project began in 1982.

Okay !! On se vengera....on se vengera...

Merci Kathleen. Je l'avais dit plus haut, c'est parfois bénéfique d'être en retard.

Grand Joy ! C'est si drôle quand on devient

Comme Grabuge est un peu occupée, on laissera celui ou celle qui sera prêt(e) donner une autre énigme. Et surtout ne lésinez pas sur les , ok ?

Hello everybody!

Et ben Joy, tu nous as vraiment rendu .

1) When and where was he born ?
2) Where and how did he spend his childhood?
3) How old was he when he realised his first movie ?
4) What was his first movie ? And how much did he earn for the first diffusion of this movie ?
5) He realised many other movies. But which movie has been the n°1 for 11 years in USA? And which movie has received 11 Oscar nominations ?
6) For which movie, Steven received: :

b- the Oscar of the best director in 1981
c- the Oscar of the best director in 1982
d- the Oscar of the best director in 1993

infiniment Joy . Tu es la seule à participer.

C'est parfois intéressant de jouer le rôle de professeur.

1) mais une petite erreur mais je ne te dirai pas laquelle.
2) Parfait
3) Faux.
4) Bravo mais la deuxième réponse n'est pas juste.
5)
6) sauf pour le b (petite faute)
7)

Waw! Alors c'est ce sentiment que l'on éprouve quand il y a des erreurs.

Joy qui m'a permis de ressentir ça.

tu me fais rire Kathleen

Je laisse le soin à Serena de terminer ... même si elle confond Steven Spielberg et Stephen King !


Réponse: New game. What about ? de kathleen, postée le 09-08-2005 à 00:03:55 (S | E)
Heureuse de t'avoir fait rire Joy.

Oui Joy, elle confond Stephen King à Steven Spielberg. Attention Serena à ne pas répondre en donnant la biographie de Misery à la place de celle de Steven Spielberg.


Réponse: New game. What about ? de serena, postée le 09-08-2005 à 05:55:17 (S | E)

C'est bien vrai Joy, j'avais confondu Stephen King et SteVen......
Sorry, j'ai supprimé aussitôt mon post après m'être rendue compte de mon . Je ne te savais pas si rapide !!!! ( )

En fait, je sais qu'il est en train de réaliser "The talisman" de King (et Peter Straub), un livre que je viens de terminer et que j'ai adoré, d'où la confusion dans ma tête.
En tout cas, merci d'avoir répondu avant moi. Tu ne sais pas ce que tu m'as épargnée.

Kathleen, on n'avait pas le temps, tu vois ? Mais je suis là.
Je complète les réponses de Joy, ok ?

1) Steven Allan Spielberg (no confusion now ) was born in Cincinnati, (Ohio, USA) on December 18th, 1946.

3) At 14, he realised his first short film called "Escape to nowhere".
(Same answer as Joy’s. Is there anything else?)
Maybe it's: "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (1978). He was then 32

4) His first movie was "Fire Light" diffused in 1964, and he earnt 600$ for the very first time it was released on the screen

6) b- in 1981 for "Les Aventuriers de l'Arche Perdue". (Hey, little Miss Pernickety ! )

Donc pour la 1, on doit ajouter quoi ? Tout ce que j'ai trouvé de mieux que Joy est : He’s Sagittarius, his height: 5' 7½" (1.71 m) ……

Allez, on verra bien ! Kathleen...et Joy !

Bonjour Joy, Serena et Grabuge

- Grabuge pour la 6 ( pour les titres en anglais) et pour la 5 .
- Et pour la 7, ce n'est pas juste. Voir réponse de Joy.

Et le meilleur moment est là: Question 3 : c'est encore faux. Cherchez un petit peu s'il vous plaît.

Pas encore trouvé!

Et un autre candidat : Post-scriptum. pour toutes les réponses ( Bravo! Bravo! les acclamations du public augmentent de plus en plus en espérant que ce soit le bon,... quand soudain elles diminuent et on entend: "dommage la réponse 3 n'est pas juste" ).

Ne perdez pas espoir cher public, je suis sûre que quelqu'un trouvera cette réponse et voilà pour vous je leur donne un indice: la réponse se trouve dans la question 4.
Maintenant je vous ai beaucoup aidé. C'est juste une question piège.

A bientôt.

Hi Post-Scriptum !!

Très heureuse de te revoir !
Kathleen nous fait voir de toutes les couleurs??? On aura tout vu.
Chers collègues, je vais sauver l'honneur. Parole de Serena. ( Je me fais toute petite au cas où. )

Kathy! Retiens ton souffle !

3) Spielberg's first movie is "Fire Light". Realised in 1964. So he was 18 years old.

Voilà.
Et si tu me dis que c'est pas juste, je pleure. Parce que ça me paraît si évident maintenant !

Et ben, vous en avez vraiment mis du temps!
Il manquait juste un petit moment et j'allais à mon tour me m'être à pleurer.

Désolée Serena de vous avoir autant fait souffrir.

La réponse comme tu le dis est très évidente et c'est (le public retient son souffle...) ........18 years old!! (et voilà le public se lève et applaudit de plus en plus fort BRAVO ! BRAVO ! )
Serena, tu es une personne qui tient ses promesses. Elle a tenu sa parole cher public. Elle sauva l'honneur (après avoir copié un peu sur ses camarades ). (j'ai les larmes aux yeux )

A toi la main Serena ( ne sois surtout pas sévère ) !
