Catfishing is a guessing game built from Wikipedia articles. Given a list
of all the categories that an article belongs to, you must guess which article it's describing.
(Beware: Some of these questions are very out of date! The game
used to be live but stopped being able to connect to Wikipedia after
an API change in 2009.)
Here's your first one:
| Early modern philosophers | English spies | People from Westminster |
| 1626 deaths | 1561 births | Lord Chancellors of England |
| Empiricists | Deaths from pneumonia | New Latin authors |
| People from St Albans | Utopists | Viscounts in the Peerage of England |
| English Anglicans | English rhetoricians | Tudor people |
| Attorneys General for England and Wales | English philosophers | Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament |
| English essayists | Alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge | History of scientific method |
That was Francis Bacon
