Help with stupidly hard quiz

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...

Ah, that's why I couldn't see some of the photos yesterday (laptop)

pussycatinboots · 04/12/2020 15:41

Soup could you try re-posting the pics? Yours came through really quickly before. 🤞🏻

DannyGlickWindowTapping · 04/12/2020 15:53

I've switched to laptop from phone so I can have multiple tabs open, but can't see the latest photos either. I'm way too invested in this! :D

rosegoldwatcher · 04/12/2020 15:59

I can't see the photos on my PC either.
Too diddly on my phone.

I'm on my phone and can't see any photos either. Boo - I'll have to do some work!

ApocalypseNowt · 04/12/2020 16:19

Not sure why photos are only on the app :(

There are 8 levels....so we're on the penultimate one!

Once we've finished I'll go back and post the puzzles I did myself in case anyone fancies a go at them :)

It's worked on mine!

I can see those ones :)

It's a fault with MN itself that makes photos appear only on the app sometimes.

CrochetyCrochet · 04/12/2020 16:31

I can see them too now . Don't know why I was so keen. Blimey.

DannyGlickWindowTapping · 04/12/2020 16:39

Eeek! I'm struggling to get them to rotate, let alone work out what they mean! lol

HanSolo · 04/12/2020 16:42

Well, they aren't anagrams, as there aren't enough vowels to form anything, so must be substitute cyphers.

ApocalypseNowt · 04/12/2020 16:44

I'll try posting the rest of the pics in a bit. But there are 26 diamonds, a-z so each must correspond with a letter

the string of text at the top...does it contain 1 of each letter of the alphabet?
I can't quite see it.

Actually 25 letters. X is not included

ApocalypseNowt · 04/12/2020 16:53

The bit at the top under codebreaker reads as follows:

3E4Z5T1P1S5B7Q3F1C4Y2D3H5N5I3U5W7O3R2G5K7V3A2M6L3J

Hmmmm, that bit at the top goes number - letter - number - letter in a repeating pattern...

OP posts:
pussycatinboots · 04/12/2020 17:04

and each letter is only used once (with no x)

don't bother googling it, nothing comes up

ApocalypseNowt · 04/12/2020 17:04

All letter of the alphabet (except x) are included in the top bit too - so that gives us a number for each letter. Now to work out what to do with that information....

If the number preceding the letter corresponds I've got it as

a = 3
b= 5
c= 1

I guess the number tells us to do something with the diamond maybe?

xpost!

What happens if you cross out the letters that have a pair in the diamond. What are you left with?

bitheby · 04/12/2020 17:16

Or cross out the number of letters in the code and see what's left?
