Help with stupidly hard quiz

709 replies

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...

Netherlands 3
South Korea 4

@pussycatinboots

Netherlands 3 South Korea 4 Brazil 4 Nigeria 2

the number of different colour on their flags.

So multiplying all the answers together you get 11,943,936

Presumably each digit is a letter of the alphabet and that makes a word. Trying now.

All of those digits multiplied together make 11943936.

(I should probably say I have achieved very little of the things I had planned to do today due to this wonderful thread).

Last 2 puzzles on the meta. You can ignore the writing on the first one, that's just me making notes.

Does MI5 recruit from MN? If not they totally should Star

But you were brilliant at that. I was thinking about vowels, looking up capitals etc. Just in the wrong track.

I was astounded when people got 'to move on just type round' for the first one. But for some reason please please please let me get what I want just popped into my head today. And I'm not really a smiths fan!

This is so good. Off to look at the pictures now but not sure that is how my brain works. Am sure someone else will find it 'easy' though!

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 17:49

I think they’re strikers.

I know very little about football.

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 17:49

Boxer is Cain Velasquez

minou123 · 02/12/2020 17:49

Is the boxer Tyson Fury?

I could be wrong Blush
