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...

These look like acronyms to me, are they song lyrics maybe? With timestamps of where the line appears in the track?

Or TV shows? Some of the timestamps are like 12 minutes which would really narrow down the list of songs!

The instructions are pretty much...there are no instructions. Working out what you have to do is part of the "fun" Wink

Interesting someone mentioned song lyrics

The first S item on the first photo.

Please please please let me get what (I want)

A smiths song.

Choux · 02/12/2020 12:47

And item B (I want) it that way.

Do the two dots represent the words I Want?

Choux · 02/12/2020 12:48

Second q = Queen

I want to break free.

Trisolaris · 02/12/2020 12:54

@Choux

And item B (I want) it that way.

Do the two dots represent the words I Want?

In that case the first C would be (I want) you to want me by Cheap Trick!
abcyz · 02/12/2020 12:59

Got one!

Christina Aguilera - Come On Over (All I Want Is You)

abcyz · 02/12/2020 13:06

Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

Trisolaris · 02/12/2020 13:07

It feels like the three dots for the other one (Apathy) should be ‘I don’t care’ but I can’t get any thing that fits that.

Choux · 02/12/2020 13:07

Is the second photo songs beginning 'I don't want'?

There's I don't want To Talk About It. But that's listed under R unless someone else covered it?

Choux · 02/12/2020 13:08

Just seen the tabs have clues in the headings!

@Choux

Second q = Queen

I want to break free.

The first Q is I Want It All by Queen.
SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 13:11

All I Want Is You - U2

Trisolaris · 02/12/2020 13:14

I think the second one is ‘I don’t want’ although the clue is a bit rubbish for that because there are a few songs that fit with that

I don’t want to Know - Fleetwood Mac
I don’t want to talk about it - Rod Stewart

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 13:14

Please please please let me get what I want - the .smiths

Trisolaris · 02/12/2020 13:16

I don’t want a lover - Texas

Choux · 02/12/2020 13:20

So it's

I want / I don't want.

Are they the passwords?

DistantVworp · 02/12/2020 13:21

Second photo:

I don't want to miss a thing (Aerosmith)
I don't want to be here anymore (I can't see the letter though, Rise Against sang it though)

Would love to see any others!
