### Steps

#### 🕵️‍♂️ Solving Letter A: Identifying the Speaker

To figure out who the speaker was, I began with a **reverse image search** using the provided photo.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3066381948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1v4zpYg12djm83qExa3x%2Fuploads%2FPv3aPpfYXU8ZKQmx2lOH%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7c66f24f-508e-461d-8147-5e1fae5af84f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This led me to a **LinkedIn post** related to the event:\
<https://es.linkedin.com/posts/juan-carlos-ruiz-rodriguez-b5252a83_oei-per%C3%BA-noticias-lectura-en-movimiento-activity-7087590628762509312-hY1a?trk=public_profile_share_view>

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:\
\&#xNAN;**"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:\
\&#xNAN;**➡️ Juan Carlos Ruiz**

That completes **part a** of the task!

#### 🔍 Solving Letter B: Identifying What’s on His Lapel

To find out what was pinned to the speaker’s lapel, I continued my search using the same keywords:\
\&#xNAN;**"Lectura en Movimiento en Lima"** and **"Juan Carlos Ruiz"**

This led me to a helpful article on **Infobae**:\

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:\
\&#xNAN;**➡️ OEI** — confirming it was an **OEI badge** pinned to his jacket.

And with that, **part b** is complete!

#### 🎥 Solving Letter C: Finding Footage of His Speech

To locate a video of the speech, I searched for:\
\&#xNAN;**"Lectura en Movimiento en Lima"** on **YouTube** and other video platforms.

<figure><img src="https://3066381948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1v4zpYg12djm83qExa3x%2Fuploads%2Fh4aTi6REoy1dO60SXbwc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a0e7d9f8-ccb7-4079-951b-80f69c99c94b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

I went through the results and **watched several videos**, checking each one for any clips featuring **Juan Carlos Ruiz**.

Eventually, I found the right footage where **he appears and speaks at the event**. Here’s the video I found on YouTube:\

That confirmed and completed **part c** of the challenge!
