Answer: Ivan Illich

Illich was born in Vienna in 1926 and his family moved to Italy in 1941 because his mother had Jewish ancestry, leading to him becoming something of a nomad but also becoming fluent in at least ten languages. His book, "Deschooling Society" examined the way the western education system works and was critical of the institutionalisation of pupils within such a system.

He later wrote critiques on subjects such as energy consumption (Energy and Equity (1974)), and medical care (Medical Nemesis (1976)) as well as literacy (In the Vineyard of the Text (1993)). Illich died in December 2002 in Bremen, Germany.

Iliescu was one of the foremost figures in the Romanian revolution of 1989 which saw Nicolae Ceausescu overthrown. Iliescu became President of Romania in December 1989 and in May 1990, he became the country's first freely elected head of state, a position he held until 1996, when he was defeated in the elections by Emil Constantinescu.

In December 2000 though, Iliescu's Social Democratic Party was re- elected and he took over the reins of the country once more, overseeing Romania becoming a part of NATO in 2004, his final year in office.

Answer: Innes Ireland

Although born in the former English county of West Riding of Yorkshire, Ireland was very proud of his Scottish ancestry, and is often cited as the first Scot to win a Formula One race. The 1961 event at Watkins Glen, New York was the first Grand Prix win for Colin Chapman's Team Lotus, who would go on to dominate motor racing and interestingly, the Lotus 21 that Ireland drove, with its Coventry Climax engine was the last 4-cylinder car ever to win a Grand Prix.

Answer: Isaac Isaacs

Isaacs certainly had the background to make a successful Governor General, having previously served as Attorney General of Australia between 1905 and 1906 and Chief Justice of Australia between 1930 and 1931 but what made his appointment as Governor General of Australia controversial was the fact that he was Australian. All previous eight Governor Generals had been British and it took much persuasion before King George V finally allowed such an appointment, the first non British governor general to be appointed in any British Crown dominion.

In 1973, Isaacs was honoured by Australia Post when a stamp bearing his image was issued.

Answer: Ilya Ivanov

Ivanov presented his case for the creation of a "humanzee" in 1910 at the World Congress of Zoologists and by the early 1920s had inseminated three female chimpanzees with human sperm, but he failed to achieve a pregnancy.

By 1930, his veterinary institute was facing increased criticism from Soviet scientists and he was arrested and sentenced to five years exile in Alma-Ata, in what is now Kazakhstan, where he died of a stroke in 1932.
