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.

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: "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!

🔍 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: "Lectura en Movimiento en Lima" and "Juan Carlos Ruiz"

This led me to a helpful article on Infobae: https://www.infobae.com/america/agencias/2023/07/19/peru-y-la-oei-promocionan-la-lectura-en-las-calles-y-el-transporte-publico-de-lima/

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!

🎥 Solving Letter C: Finding Footage of His Speech

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.

Eventually, I found the right footage where he appears and speaks at the event. Here’s the video I found on YouTube: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmpsALc_EGU

That confirmed and completed part c of the challenge!
