Stupidly hard work quiz (help!)

If anyone remembers previous years my work sets a stupidly hard quiz for us to have a go at every Christmas. This year's is no different....

I've managed to complete the first 8 puzzles myself but now I'm stuck Xmas Sad Very frustrating as I've got the gist of the puzzles but can't figure out what the answer is!

Here's the first one and here's my answers. If anyone can figure out the final answer (two words 5,7) I'd be ever so grateful 😊

And in case it needs to be more specific, it’s the Duomo in Florence and Gamla Stan in Stockholm.

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 08/12/2021 09:26

17 florence

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 09:28

2 looks like Havana Cuba - can’t be more specific I’m afraid.

minou123 · 08/12/2021 09:28

27 is definitely the Gatehead Millennium Bridge

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 08/12/2021 09:29

19 Christ the Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro.

minou123 · 08/12/2021 09:31

12 looks like the canals in Amsterdam

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 08/12/2021 09:36

6 is Mamayev Kurgan World War II memorial complex with the statue The Motherland Calls in Volgograd, Russia,

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 09:37

@Lils11

16 looks like Epcot?
Yeah I think the same

So the location is florida and if they are being really picky Lake Buena vista.

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 09:37

The pictures are a bit low resolution for me, but if the writing in 3 is Japanese then I think it’s Tsutenkaku in Osaka - but not confident in this answer!

Cluckycluck · 08/12/2021 09:38

I think 13 is the Berlin victory column

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 09:40

Is 11 Bourbon Street in New Orleans?

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 09:41

@Lils11

Yep, 27 is Newcastle. I think it's called the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the building that looks like a slug on the side is called the Sage.

14 is Edinburgh.

It's Gateshead/Newcastle (depending on which side of the bride your on) but it's not the millennium bridge. The millennium bridge is the new one that moves. This one is the old one that you run over for the great north run.

It's just called the Tyne bridge

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 09:41

Ok I’ve just done some Google image searches and now I’m confident in my Tsutenkaku Osaka answer.

edin16 · 08/12/2021 09:42

Could 11 be New Orleans? It's got that vibe as far as I can tell

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 09:42

It's the Tyne bridge, the millennium one looks like the one in Glasgow. Like an eye.
bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 09:44

Is 14 Prague?

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 09:44

If anyone needs a close up photo taking of any of them, let me know & I'll do it when I get back

Was the crossword puzzle solved?

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 09:45

And while I’m on the subject of Japanese towers, 24 looks like the Tokyo Tower (in Tokyo of course!).

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 09:45

Yes rose gold , answer was "two meanings"

Oh shit and bollocks, it is Grin
Ironically I live in Newcastle and see it every day Grin
Don't know what is wrong with me.

Should be quite easy to reverse image search these if you snip and save them. Do you just need to list the answers or is there a second stage clue?

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 09:50

Think 25 is Geneva. Is there any way of posting higher res pics?

Thanks OP.

I am geographically challenged so of no use on this round!

Sorry, that should be number 28. Can't count this morning!
