You're presented with an image featuring a group of individuals seated before a large screen displaying the phrase “Lectura en Movimiento en Lima.” On the left side of the image, a speaker is standing near three prominent flags.
a) Determine the identity of the speaker.
b) Identify what is pinned to his lapel.
c) Locate a video recording of his speech.
Link to the original challenge:
Beginners: a) Easy b) Easy c) Easy
Experts: a) Easy b) Easy c) Easy
To figure out who the speaker was, I began with a reverse image search using the provided photo.
When I clicked on the link, I found another image of the event. In that image, I noticed a man in the center wearing the same outfit as the one in the original photo provided in the exercise.
I did a bit of cross-referencing, and found a name mentioned in the post: Juan Carlos Ruiz Rodriguez.
To confirm his identity, I searched online using the keywords: "Lectura en Movimiento en Lima" and "Juan Carlos Ruiz"
After checking the results and verifying the context, I was confident that the speaker in the original photo is indeed: ➡️ Juan Carlos Ruiz
That completes part a of the task!
To find out what was pinned to the speaker’s lapel, I continued my search using the same keywords: "Lectura en Movimiento en Lima" and "Juan Carlos Ruiz"
The article included a close-up shot of Juan Carlos Ruiz. In that image, I was able to clearly see the badge on his lapel. It had the text: ➡️ OEI — confirming it was an OEI badge pinned to his jacket.
And with that, part b is complete!
To locate a video of the speech, I searched for: "Lectura en Movimiento en Lima" on YouTube and other video platforms.
I went through the results and watched several videos, checking each one for any clips featuring Juan Carlos Ruiz.
That confirmed and completed part c of the challenge!
This led me to a LinkedIn post related to the event:
This led me to a helpful article on Infobae:
Eventually, I found the right footage where he appears and speaks at the event. Here’s the video I found on YouTube: 📺
