I got 7/10 which, I think, anyone taking wild guesses would get.

How did you do?

@farmerman,
I have not known that many professors, but I have looked many a bum in the eye.

@edgarblythe,
well Ive done the opposite and I was truly fooled. That young guy who was an IT prof looked like a neat bum. and the bioethics guy I picked as a bum. The first guy I thought was a perfesser cause I see these guys out on research vessels all the time and they only wash up when the ship dox

@farmerman,
6/10

I had the young guy pegged as a prof, but then I thought, "they're trying to fool me!"

@farmerman,
8/10 I tried to check teeth and general state of cleanliness. Scruffiness in and of itself is not an infallible yardstick. Wonder if photos of hands would yield same results.

I also questioned if a bum fit the background. It was the decider more than one time.

I got 5/10 also.

The way it looked to me, all of them could have had doctorates.

I was tempted assign them all to be living as hobos.

I got five. I overestimated how many hoboes were profs, too. (I think I've met one of them! He certainly looks familiar anyway.)

Sent it on to my prof husband who is currently clean-shaven but who has looked decidedly hoboesque in the past.

@sozobe,
my theory si that the closer you are to some of these academic clowns, the more they look like bums

@farmerman,
I've picked mushrooms and eaten them...only the white ones that grow on the trunks of (mostly dead) trees. I've been an idiot to do so, because I am not sure about them. But so far...so good.

Wish I had your knowledge and confidence. Little K and Dagmar use to do lots of mushroom hunting.
