Help with stupidly hard quiz

[ApocalypseNowt]

Each year my work does a stupidly hard quiz. There are many stages and we get a month to try and do it.

Anyone help me with this stage? there are 21 pictures of celebrities and I've managed to work out who they all are but now I'm stuck on working out the password to the next stage. Each picture has a coloured Roman numeral in it so I assume I have to use those to work out the answer...

Have you tried putting the letters in Roman numeral order so B(if that's I) D (if that's II) etc?

Maybe the Roman numeral is which number letter you need from that persons name?

Sorry, probably having a brain fart but I'm not sure what you mean?

Tried that Spam but it doesn't seem to spell anything

I think @SpamIAm has it. The Roman numeral is the number letter you need to take from the name.

Say x (10) from Lucy Lawless would be letter s?

What are the letters when you do that?

From what I can many of the pictures have the same Roman numeral on them - several X's for example?

I can’t see the pictures but you’ve got Wil Wheaton’s name spelt wrong. That might affect the password.

Is the password supposed to be a real word?

I have to commend you for getting this far; there are names on your list I don't recognise. Good luck!

Is the password one word or a phrase?

Have you tried grouping into colours, then writing down the letter corresponding with the Roman numeral in those names?

So, yellow would be 7th letter of Tim Tebow = O, 10th letter of Priscilla Presley = P etc?

Ok I'm in for the long haul @ApocalypseNowt because I love a challenge...👍🤣
First things first...that's not Kim kardashian it's Kourtney kardashian.

I got poems from some of the yellow letters! It's a start ;-)

If it helps at all I think that I got the word JETTY from the red words.

And will weaton has a h so will Wheaton

I'd have guessed at anagrams of the letters given by the Roman numerals in each colour group.

Giving a phrase that you answer to get the password.

It’s Wil Wheaton

@blarbra

And will weaton has a h so will Wheaton

He only has one L. It is Wil Wheaton (as I posted earlier).

How long is the password?

👍 wil Wheaton

Group by colour and then in numerical order within each? Any clues from that?

How stupidly hard is it usually? I can't see it well enough on the picture, but I wondered whether the positions of the numbers (which corner) might indicate something.

Can I see a better pic of priscella Presley OP?

Scratch that - not JETTY - i missed some reds.

Do the colours of the initials indicate a word? So all the blue together = 1 word, then all the yellow, and so on?
