I’ve now done literally thousands of my EyedentityGame! To celebrate, I’m giving away my book of quotations

I do a daily game on X (when I started it 5 1/2 years ago, it was Twitter) where people guess a celebrity from a picture of their eyes. It’s called the EyedentityGame, and I’m happy that a lot of people seem to have fun with it. More than 30,000 have viewed it in a day. The record so far is 360 people getting Ernest Borgnine. About 99% of them have been guessed by at least one person. The person who was the answer to the game has trended more than 25 times during the game.

As of this morning, I’ve done 2,000 games, so I can literally say I’ve done thousands! To celebrate, I’m giving away my book of quotations:

The Mind Boggles: A Unique Book of Quotations
