I think that name, invent and city aren't relationed. Look the example. I'm not sure, but one of the players is not a famous person, and other is a place.

If the cities are not related, there will be a huge problem, because teh combinations are huge, because some names can be directed to surname, others to city and the others to invention. In my case it could be: lumiere.spacecraft.rio@powerchallenge.com (Related to lumiere: coppola, potter, clouseau and cresson), related to spacecraft(armstrong, haise, musk and zahn??) and rio (Djokovic, Bolt, ???, ???)

If there are 16 players, 4 are false, it means that 4 are for city, 4 are for invention and 4 for surname. My guessing is solid about lumiere, I'm not sure about invention (Maybe spacecraft, due to the astronauts and Elon), but city...?

Even though none of the players/characters belong in Sweden it's stated as their nationality for all but four players. Maybe those are the false clues? In that case we could rule out Johann Zahn, Verna Hills, Joseph Valle and Fred Haise.Even though none of the players/characters belong in Sweden it's stated as their nationality for all but four players.

Well, here's a list of the players and who they're in real life, hope it helps 1 Johann Zahn (writer/inventor of the camera obscura) 2 Vittorio Emanuele (Prince of Naples) 3 Verna Hills (fake?) 4 Louis Armstrong (Musician/Trumpeter) 5 Usain Bolt (Athlete / Runner) 6 Narendra Modi (Prime Minister of India) 7 Donald Davies (Welsh Computer Scientist) 8 Hubert Mclntyre (Fake?) 9 Jacques Clouseau (Movie Character) 10 Elon Reeve (Rich guy / inventor / wants to setup a colony in Mars) 11 Josep Valle (Athlete / Football Player) 12 Novak Djokovic (Athlete / Tennis Player) 13 Elliott Cresson (American philanthropist / An award to inventions has his name) 14 Fred Haise (Astronaut) 15 Harry Potter (Movie Character) 16 Francis Ford Coppola (Director) So I think for sure the fakes are Verna Hills, Hubert Mclntyre, possibly Josep Valle since it seems like a reference too obscure to be related and maybe Donald Davies also seems unrelated. In a jist, we have athletes, movie characters, movie directors, some obscure references to inventions related to the film industry (Johann Zahn & Camera Obscura), two things related to Mars (the astronaut and the rich guy) and also, an Indian Prime Minister and the Prince of Naples, this two probably have something to do with location I guess. Anway, hope it helps, I think it's just a matter of trying different combinations, the example that was given mentioned three totally unrelated things like messi.computer.boston so I believe the riddles are three individual unrelated words.Well, here's a list of the players and who they're in real life, hope it helps

1 Johann Zahn (writer/inventor of the camera obscura)
2 Vittorio Emanuele (Prince of Naples)
3 Verna Hills (fake?)

Verna Hills IMO is too obscure a reference to be meaningful... there's not even a wikipedia entry on verna hills. Hubert is a different name than Hugh, McIntyre is a somewhat common last name.
