This picture was one of the first recorded moments during the founding years of a very famous american organization. The organization itself got a 3 letter acronym for a name eventually, and a popular gag has it that the first two letters stand for the initials of the guy whose face is circled.

What organization and who’s the guy?

Strictly speaking, the logo of this software should sport the animal shown in 1, because the software’s name is 1’s common name. But instead, it sports a stylized version of another animal whose name appears as a part of the software’s name.

Which software?

Hint: Map shows 1’s range

(This is not a HHGTTG question)

(1) and (2) were messing around with (3). While doing so, they detected something that they totally could not explain. They tried a lot to eliminate it (at one point of time, they even suspected (4)), but they just couldn’t get rid of it.

Eventually, they realized that they just couldn’t eliminate it because it was not an anomaly. It was real, and it validated decades of work, and basically proved one of the most debated hypotheses of all time, beyond any doubt.

What is it (that they discovered)?

And who are (1) and (2)?

Disclosure: I’ve shamelessly flicked this question from some other quiz. Unfortunately I can’t remember which right now. All credit goes to the original QM :)
