There's been some valuable Tangredi speculation going on today. Nobody's got the whole thing, but people have found pieces of it. The "a-ha" moment may not be long in coming.

And remember that my Tangredis, though they may be hard to see, always operate very simply ... once you have the key.

Parasites require something from their host to survive. I can see "borrowing" a letter or letters from one name to make another name, but what happens to the name that letters are borrowed from? Anything?

Look at the words Parasitic and Pairs. The letters of the latter are wholly contained in the former.

I'm in the spitballing stage, in case you couldn't tell. :)
Well, I did suggest that spitball last week. But, just like with smiler's suggestion, we run into problems when we get to the oddball names like Semmelweis.
Sorry I didn't give you proper credit for suggesting that we might be adding or subtracting letters, since that's a device that Frank has been using in his games for over 15 years now.

If you'll read carefully, though, each of the three ideas I mention above (and they are discrete, even mutually exclusive ideas) attempt to expand on that idea or turn it in another direction. Just trying to fire off anything that might get one of our brains working in the right direction.

And as far as Semmelweis goes, 98 names which are paired with each other suggests that only one name is important. I could easily see anagramming either Ignaz or Semmelweis if we are granted extra letters to either add or subtract.Same with Ontkean or Schopenhauer, although I don't think we necessarily need to limit ourselves to the surnames. Since Frank's instructions say that four answers will be used twice, that suggests to me that first name/last name is a possibility. The ones with common first names can then be considered only for their last names, but those who have unique first names might be used that way.

Updated consolidation. There are still 3 wrong answers here somewhere, by my count. I've confirmed about half of the answers, but I"m too tired to do more.

I did remove all the question marks and get those all correct, or at least I hope so.

Rickenbacker and Constable were apparently correct, because Emory and Hobey Baker were not.

Maybe this was a really bad clue. Should I just give the answer? I found him because I was looking for a name that fit certain paramaters.

I thought it might be Buck Naked, but it looks like it's MAX HARDCORE. Mr. K must have been distracted by something or other when he tried to google it.

All of the question marks are gone, so let's see how many wrong answers we're down to now.

Going off of what SSS suggested yesterday, I'm wondering if these surnames are concealing terms for an unannounced associated word list. Schopenhauer contains HOPE, which could connect to Bill Clinton. Norman Hartnell contains HART, which could connect to George S. Kaufman. Paul Castellano contains STELLA, which could connect to Paul McCartney. And, as Mr. K said, Dogberry contains BERRY, which could connect to Smokey Robinson.

I notice that Frank did not make his usual statement about possible multiple combinations.

How about #90 Robert WarSHOW paired with #53 Paul CasTELLano?

And #98 HENri Becquerel paired with #95 Gary COOPer?

Pastor Fireball wrote:All of the question marks are gone, so let's see how many wrong answers we're down to now.
Only two wrong answers. And one of them, I admit to my total embarrassment, is entirely my fault. Everyone is correct that the quote in #96 is James Joyce. The quote I meant to use was a quotation from an earlier novelist that Joyce was consciously referencing and extending. So let me just straighten it out in one fell swoop. The quotation I should have used was "The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him" and the author is GUSTAVE FLAUBERT.

The other wrong one is NOT my fault. The answer given does not match the clue. But let's leave her in place for now.

I didn't expect the Tangredi to be this hard to find. A lot of good speculation has been going on, and some significant names have been mentioned. But the key is still in the lock.
Going off of what SSS suggested yesterday, I'm wondering if these surnames are concealing terms for an unannounced associated word list. Schopenhauer contains HOPE, which could connect to Bill Clinton. Norman Hartnell contains HART, which could connect to George S. Kaufman. Paul Castellano contains STELLA, which could connect to Paul McCartney. And, as Mr. K said, Dogberry contains BERRY, which could connect to Smokey Robinson.


Game #145: Parasitic Pairs

Identify the 100 people in the clues below. Then match them into 53 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Two of the names will be matched with themselves. Four others will be used twice, each in two different capacities.

3. “My body and my will are one,” declared this great philosopher who influenced such later thinkers as diverse as Nietzsche, Wagner, Einstein, Freud, and Borges.
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER

4. If you’re a member of the Pepsi Generation or enjoy ending the day with a gin and tonic, thank this 18th century English scientist known for an even more important discovery.

5. His tombstone features the very words he spoke at the end of the world premiere of Turandot: "Here the opera ends, because at this point the maestro died."

PAT ROBERTSON

I think you must be right, because I'm not finding more easy matches, which is usually the sign that I'm on the wrong track. So many buried words in these names, though....

Frank's lock and key comment is funny, because that's one of the pairs I was trying really hard to make work, since we have MCCLOSKEY and SHOCKLEY. They both have KEY and LOCK in them.

We may have been on the right track earlier.

Mary Woll(stone)craft could go with Keith Richards.

Arturo (Tosca)nini could be matched with himself.

Tammy Wy(net)te could be matched with Jimmy Connors.

Iggy P(op) could be matched with Roy Lichtenstein.

Norman (Hart)nell could be matched with George S. Kaufman.

As well as the Berry and Stella ones mentioned earlier.
