Bollywood actors jigsaw quiz

I've jumbled up pictures of 10 Bollywood actors. You can move the jumbled blocks around, like a jigsaw. Can you guess the actors?

sathya 23 Aug 2008 12:53 am: are you sure jigsaw 5 is right ? I guess it is A Kh. I entered the wikipedia spelling and it still says it is wrong. Sorry for the partial spoiler.
sathya 23 Aug 2008 12:54 am: are you sure jigsaw 5 is right ? I guess it is A Kh. I entered the wikipedia spelling and it still says it is wrong. Sorry for the partial spoiler.
S Anand 23 Aug 2008 4:15 am: @Sathya: Jigsaw 5 is not Aamir Khan, Sathya. He is on the list, though.
Saurabh 23 Aug 2008 5:20 am: Nice one, and was able to solve it as well within 5 mins :)
kay 24 Aug 2008 8:46 am: Any idea why the clues don’t open up for me? I’d be interested in knowing.
sathya 25 Aug 2008 2:30 am: I dint mean Aamir khan … but Ak Kh (son of an actor) … in case u r planning to post the answers, i’ll wait.
S Anand 27 Aug 2008 7:13 am: @Sathya: I used his name without the “e” after the first name. That seemed to have more results on a Google search that with. But you’re right – Wikipedia spells his name with the “e”.

Of course, all of this wouldn’t be a problem if I implemented a decent fuzzy search like my other quizzes. Will do that.
sathya 28 Aug 2008 3:26 am: yeah. fuzzy search is a good idea. Another approach could be to use the “did u mean” like functionality that search engines offer. Peter Norvig’s approach could be used for this (which you had also linked in one of your posts).

I would be curios to know which approach and how, you are going to implement the fuzzy search.
Kalpesh 14 Sep 2008 6:05 am: Hi Anand,

I dont know how I stubled upon your blo & since then has become a fan ;)

Solved this one in 5 mins.

The feed shows multiple posts for same title in bloglines. Is it because of you updating the same post?
S Anand 15 Sep 2008 12:43 am: @Kalpesh: That’s right. Every time I make a minor tweak to the post, it’s shown again, I’m afraid.
smrithy 1 Dec 2011 1:18 pm: hii, i found all actors except the 2nd ones.. can i get some clues for him???

sathya 14 Aug 2008 6:52 am: the score says 10/5 for all correct answers. pls check :-)
ectp 14 Aug 2008 11:14 am: 10/10 :)
Had problems with the spelling in q.8.
Can’t complain, as the standard “Don’t worry about the spelling. Just spell it like it sounds, and the box will turn green.” was not there. :)
S Anand 15 Aug 2008 12:47 am: Yeah, this quiz is a bit finicky on the names. Sorry about that!

Sathya 15 Sep 2006 8:03 am: its not changing colour ;-(
S Anand 15 Sep 2006 8:22 am: Well, Sathya, then the answer must be wrong ;-) Nah, unlikely. There must be a spelling variation I had not anticipated. Why don’t you mail me the answer, and I’ll fix it. Thanks!
Sathya 15 Sep 2006 9:28 am: movie 5 has a zigsaw tht does not belong to the movie.

Ravi Karthik 25 May 2006 8:18 am: Pirates of the Caribbean - Your ex-VM classmate from Chennai
S Anand 25 May 2006 7:34 pm: Hi Ravi, where are you these days?
Anonymous 26 May 2006 9:47 am: the images keep loading and changing even when they’ve fully loaded. I think its a bug. Can you fix it? Otherwise the puzzle is brilliant!
S Anand 26 May 2006 12:08 pm: Thanks! This may not be a bug, though. each jigsaw has 3 images from the same movie. Even after loading fully, the jigsaw will loop through images.

Dhar 24 May 2006 3:06 pm: Got the name of the movie. But to really crack the jigsaw is difficult because the image keeps changing…
Dhar 24 May 2006 3:17 pm: Damn, is there one small block missing?
Dhar 24 May 2006 3:22 pm: Got it finally!!
S Anand 24 May 2006 5:21 pm: How many blocks did you have to move before you guessed the movie?
Arun 25 May 2006 6:31 am: Wow, totally totally awesome. Took a while, but cracked it. Knowing the movie sure helped though!
sangi 31 May 2006 12:18 pm: did not move any blocks. cracked it immediately. Cool stuff.
Swapnaa 12 Oct 2006 10:11 pm: Did you blur Neo’s mouth to make the puzzle harder? Or is something else going on?
