Just having a little fun here with games at my little corner. You know the little drinking game we play "Guess what i am ?" using cards? Basically, we write a character name on the card and pass it to the friend sitting beside us. And then, we stick it on our forehead. And then we let our friends guess what i am. My favorite drinking game :-)
In this game that i am organizing here, it is similar. I have a person in mind. I will give 3 clues and you have to guess what i am.

Let's go with Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace. She was more or less the first female computer scientist. I learned this from a cheap Google search for "dead female British mathematicians." I tried to figure it out without google, but got nowhere so I figured I'd just cheat my way to the possible win. :)

And yes, you won Guess what I am game round #1 !
The answer: Ada Lovelace http://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-ada-lovelace
The reason why i chose her is that she is one of the earliest computer programmer and a computer program language was actually named after her and the language is called "ada"

Cool idea, first time I ever saw this game was in the movie Inglourious Basterds. Looks like game was solved, so I'll refrain from answering
