This is a small game with simple rules:
1. Given two persons, you must guess if they could have met (regardless of physical distance). This means their lifespan overlap.
2. Given a person and a great work (political, artistic, etc.), you must guess if the person could have known the work. This means the work appeared before or during the lifetime of the person.
Your score is based on the number of consecutive correct guesses, and resets to zero when you miss

All the data come from Wikidata, bless them and their work. Due to the automated collection of works and the way wikidata structures data, there might be some wonky choices and unintuitive dates.
