The Whois Challenge

Yesterday I posted the first Whois challenge. The rules of a Whois challenge are simple: you define a person you know in 150 words or less, and in 800 or fewer characters including spaces. This is because the average word is about five letters long but you probably need a higher average length to make things sound better. Your definition is parametric in nature; it's not meant to be explicitly definitive, but to allow people a good chance to guess what should be a reasonably unambiguous answer to the question, "Who is this?"

The format is simple: you have one paragraph. It should be aesthetically written to disguise the person it describes while making it clear that this person is unique. After that one paragraph, which must meet the rules requirements, you add the words, "Who is this?" sit back and wait for responses. If the responses are all the same, then you've probably given away too much...

The first one I posted was pretty easy to many who have read it. However, there is another aspect to the Whois challenge. It's also a way of describing a person in a way which people have seldom or never seen before. You're giving free (hopefully, free, positive and unembarrassing) publicity to someone you know.

I'll post the second Whois challenge soon. We'll see how many got the first one right, and why.
