Can you describe who these people are and what they are famous for?

(click each one that you know)

@Pat Jimmy Furante, “A-cha-cha-cha…” Niels is a. And Chester Arthur is a general. Do not know who Lauren London is before I google her. 3/4. How’d I do?

You did pretty good.

Chester A. Arthur was a general in the civil war, but he's mostly known (or unknown) as a president of the United States.

I think London is mostly known for her TV work in the US and some may know her from her relationships with rappers. She's done a few movies, not big ones with worldwide releases, so her notoriety is mostly provincial, to the US.

@Pat @willzy I think Niels Bohr is a name one should have heard before.
Personally, I know Chester A. Arthur being the 21th US president from the quality education material called "Die Hard: With A Vengeance" :blobsmilesweat:

@bloc

Was he mentioned in that film? That's funny. He's probably the least-know POTUS.

@Pat @willzy There is apparently (at least in the movie) a school in New York which is named after him and which plays a central role in the movie, therefore the name is part of the villain's riddle. That made him quite memorable for me.
