24 is good for tenth percentile, FWIW.

I do use hair, glasses, etc., but the flip side is that they are variable, whereas gait and voice are much harder to change. Good luck picking out Gary Oldman if you don't know he's in a movie; the man is a damned chameleon.

I knew most of the celebrities by name (there were a few complete whiffs and a few whose name I know but honestly have no idea what they look like - e.g., Cristiano Ronaldo). And most of the pairs looked nearly identical; in effect, my compensating technique was spotting the computer-generated image (which, based on my score, isn't all that effective).
