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...

6/2*7-5+3=
19

I'll admit, I'm crap at maths.
Someone might need to double check that.

If you put The Shining into the Stephen King set instead of take that songs:

SK = 3 + 2 x 8 x 4 x 6 - 5 x 8 = 7640

TT = Pray, Babe, Sure, Patience, THE FLOOD, Giants = 8 - 3 + 6 x 9 + 4 x 5 = 515.

So all together

Bond girls
9 × 7 - 6 + 8 ÷ 5 × 8 + 3 - 7 × 7 =
700

@pussycatinboots

6/2*7-5+3= 19

I got that too. It can't work if taken as order of getting tickets as that leads to a nasty 6 divided by 7!

@rosegoldwatcher

So I think Op said to add them all together?

203 +700 + 505 + 2072 = 3480?

I think we leave the others as-is, so with Shine in the Take That category.

But one of those calcs is wrong as Charlie is 19

Leaving Shine in Take That singles I get 4811 ( 19 + 700 + 2072 + 2020)

Somehow the Flood was left out earlier, I think.

Getting a bit confused now!

tell me about it! 😵

@ApocalypseNowt

We think you need to try 4811 🤞🏻

... and if that's wrong try 8874 (total with The Shining instead of Shine.)

Please let one of them be correct!!!

😂 too many possibilities!

I am way too invested in this.

I even made a spreadsheet - with two tabs; one for The Shining and one for Shine!

(Another day of not getting on with my curtain making!)

Such dedication!

You guys are the best! Will try the various permutations at 9am I promise 👍

Tried 8874 and 4811 but no joy :(

I'm getting in a muddle...going to write them all out again when i get a second. Let me know any other tries though and i can give them a go.

Hmmm... I get 4,811 working it out from scratch.

I wonder where we've gone wrong.

I can only suggest trying it with the comma in.

Other than that, we've put something in the wrong category.

The one that is bothering me is picture two.

I've enlarged it as much as I can - can't make out any detail but it looks like a viking ship rather than an ark.

@ApocalypseNowt - is it possible that you could post a close up photo of it please?

Close up of the ship .

Putting a comma in doesn't work and to be fair quiz master usually just makes numbers numbers ifkwim (ie no commas)

According to wiki there's a take that single called "Let in the sun" - maybe it's not shine or shining?

Yes, that is Noah's Ark.

Can you do a close up of the shine one please?

I can't see any others that are doubtful - they all seem so clear. Maybe the Young Guns one? That seems to fit Stephen King and nothing else though.

let in the sun came after the Flood.

Recalculated - try 3821?

Young Guns is wrong. It's a Stephen King book called "The Regulators"

No to 3821.

Close up of the sun..
