Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Ok let's have a picture question?

What is this and what is the link to most of us?

 

[MarkMas]

Looks like 1920s or early 1930s. Presumably it is a Maserati or is being driven by a Maserati. Based on the tyres on the back, maybe the Mille Miglia?

 

[allandwf]

Is it a FIAT?

It is 1920 but it is neither a Maserati or driven by a Maserati, location nor race are not the link

 

[zagatoes30]

Is it a FIAT?

No although it is Italian but thats not the link either

 

[zagatoes30]

OK maybe another clue is needed, so maybe this photo will help

 

[RSM Masser]

How about the first use of radial tyres
Complete guess

All but one are wearing hats, I'm off to buy a Trilby

Designed by one of the Maserati brothers ? Going off the link to most of us clue.

That is about it, both these cars are Diattos and the first one the Diatto Type 20 was prepared and raced by Alfieri along with Bindo & Ernesto. In 1926 Diatto withdrew from racing and so the Maserati brothers went their own and built cars under their own name.

The Maserati Brothers are amongst those hat wearing men in the 2nd photo

So over to you

Lets have a nearest to the correct answer question.

When was the last date that every single living person was still on earth and why did it change ?

 

[daverichardson]

Late 1700's
Montgolfier brothers went in a hot air balloon so were not on earth
Failing that - Icarus sometime B.C.

They all landed again so as soon as they landed every living person was back on earth but you can include anyone within the earths atmosphere as being on earth for the purpose of the question.

Late 90s? Wild guess. ISS? Or possibly Mir and ISS have been continuously occupied between them>

ISS is the reason but its not the late 90s. Your pretty close with your estimate.

Didn't the ISS chaps land again?

It's been continuously occupied for *ages*. So yes, the first ones have landed, but others took their place so there are still living people not on the planet.

Change of crews but the iss has been permanently manned since the first full time crew left on 31st October 2000.
