Help with stupidly hard quiz

709 replies

ApocalypseNowt · 01/12/2020 11:29

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...

At least one of the Owens is probably Michael Owen.

Choux I started out looking at syllables then land borders before I struck "the back of the net" so to speak 😂

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 17:52

minou the tattoo is quite distinctive, I googled Heavyweight Boxers with a chest tattoo and Cain appeared.

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 17:53

the other Owen could be Owen Hargreaves?

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 17:54

England Shirt numbers?

Raheem Sterling is 7 Peter Crouch is 10

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 17:54

I think it’s hat tricks for England

Answer Theo Walcott

Choux · 02/12/2020 17:56

Alan Shearer. No idea if he ever scored a hat trick but he was an England staple for a while.

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 17:56

Sequence from Wikipedia again
Owen
Owen
Crouch
Walcott
Defoe
Kane
Sterling

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 17:57

Well done 👏🏻

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 17:57

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_England_national_football_team_hat-tricks

I think it's this, but I don't know how it fits with the order of clues.

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 17:58

🍾 well done!

Choux · 02/12/2020 18:02

How do we get the letters for Theo Walcott? Not sure I see that.

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 18:03

It isn’t a letters thing @Choux

The pictures represent surnames of the other footballers in that sequence.

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 18:04

He’s the person in the missing position

Choux · 02/12/2020 18:09

Ah he's represented by the question mark.

Just one more thing bugging me. Who does the co ordinations on the first box represent?

Will0wtree · 02/12/2020 18:12

I can't read the title of the puzzle, does it say Magic number 14? As Walcott usually plays in a 14 shirt, so it does seem like the answer is Walcott.

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 18:13

It says Magic Number (4 7) which are the number of letters in his name.

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 18:14

Should there be another picture for the last of the meta puzzles?

Will0wtree · 02/12/2020 18:15

@SoupDragon Thank you. (It's all very blurry on my screen.)

rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 18:18

@Will0wtree - I can't see them either.

I have been copying and pasting onto a word document, then expanding.

minou123 · 02/12/2020 18:32

@pussycatinboots

Oh you're good. Grin

I'll remember that for the future, im terrible at picture rounds

Will0wtree · 02/12/2020 18:34

@rosegoldwatcher I did try that but it just seemed to make it blurry on a bigger scale.

goldenharvest · 02/12/2020 18:38

I think V111 is mark Ruffalo

rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 20:17

I've only just now been able to see two pots of pictures constituting the meta quiz headed ?(9)

Unless I'm missing lots of individual posts it would seem that no one has attempted that one.
It was presented just before PPs got stuck into the football/hat trick one.

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 20:27

I did manage to see it on the app but thought there was a picture clue missing from one side.

I couldn't identify any of the pictures though.
