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...

For APATHY I've got
FILMFEATUI _A

Possibly FILM FEATURING A

SoupDragon · 02/12/2020 14:16

Technically we could have cut all the working out and got it from it being a 6 letter word meaning Yearning 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

Armageddon? That had the Aerosmith song in apparently.

OP come back! We need more puzzles! We have your answers! @ApocalypseNowt Grin

sobsanta · 02/12/2020 14:30

We need more.

ememem84 · 02/12/2020 14:30

im following this with interest.

rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 14:36

@SoupDragon - yes - and Armageddon is 10 letters long - (but isn't a synonym for apathy.)

The fact that it isn't a synonym annoys me - perhaps they couldn't be arsed 😂

nemeton · 02/12/2020 14:53

What after all the attention to detail in the rest of the clues, soupy? Not likely... probably just something no-one has spotted yet Grin

hurraypotter · 02/12/2020 15:19

Super impressed by the puzzling skills. And agreed, I want to see more and in awe of their quizmaster!

I googled and there is a song called Apathy & Armageddon by Slower But...Faster but it is tenuous link.

I googled that too!

I need more. Come back OP!

ApocalypseNowt · 02/12/2020 15:55

Oh my god, you've done it! You guys are amazing 🤩 Desire and Armageddon are correct!!!

I managed another meta by myself in the meantime so only 4 more to go...

I'm part way through this one, the writing in the box are the answers I've figured out and jotted down. 'll also post another which I don't have a clue on.

Diamond and graphite are allotropes

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 16:24

It looks the the answers tell you which letters to choose...
End of “the road” is “D” or (ED)
Last of “the Mohicans” is S (or ES)
Etc...

rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 16:26

...and if the full answer to Lome is 'capital of Togo' that would make T.

pussycatinboots · 02/12/2020 16:31

@PurpleDaisies

Could be the chemical symbol?

c

PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 16:33

Yes, it could @pussycatinboots

Sweet or chick is “pea” or possibly P as a homophone

AccidentallyOnPurpose · 02/12/2020 16:33

Sweet or chick... kinder (egg)?

AccidentallyOnPurpose · 02/12/2020 16:34

@PurpleDaisies

Yes, it could *@pussycatinboots*

Sweet or chick is “pea” or possibly P as a homophone

Ohh that makes so much more sense Grin
rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 16:35

@PurpleDaisies

Diamond and graphite are allotropes
or could mean all o' tropes meaning the whole word 'tropes'?
PurpleDaisies · 02/12/2020 16:38

That was what I was thinking but I’m not making any words with the letters I think I’ve got, either with tropes or C!

rosegoldwatcher · 02/12/2020 16:38

Ah - sweet or chick is pea!

So the solutions reading from top to bottom could be
Tropes
o
T
r
s
d
p
e

Those individual letters spell Tropes but there is an unused 'd'

Tolkien's land is not Endor!
Endor is a place in the Bible (witch of Endor) or it's a planetary system in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (set on the fourth moon of endor, where the ewoks live).

Tolkien's land may be Mordor, but it could be lots of others too...but I can't see the clues Confused
