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 😊

I'm going to carry on working out what the numbers mean even though we have the answer!

@ApocalypseNowt

IDontwanna how did you get to James Cameron....!Shock It's right!!!
Omg this is the first time i hot one of your puzzles right and I've been trying every year. I went if you hear hooves... horses. So looked at film number 5 and 7 both directed by James Cameron which fit. I thought it was too easy to be right GrinGrinGrin
bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 10:37

Sorry that should mention it's number 18 👆

FoxgloveSummers · 08/12/2021 10:51

So with this one OP do you have to list them all, or do something with the names when you've found them?

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 10:55

Ok, I think the first letters of the cities are going to spell out a question. So far I've got:

Washington
Havana
Osaka
Geneva
__
Vogograd
El Paso
__
Istanbul
Shanghai
New Orleans
Amsterdam
Berlin
Edinburgh
__
Epcot
Florence

Rio de Janero
__

Stockholm
__
Tokyo


Newcastle
Geneva

So I think the question is going to say "Who gave his name ........"
and then the answer to that will be the password to the next puzzle

In that case should it be eg Munich instead of Berlin?

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 11:00

Ok, yes, looks like it could be the Angel of Peace of Munich

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:00

Berlin is wrong - it should be Mexico city

OP posts:
ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:02

Or Munich - as long as it fits!

Thing is Epcot isn't a city as such, It's a theme park in disney world. And technically the picture is of spaceship earth (the dome) in epoct.

If they want the city it's Orlando. - I think. Not sure how american city's work

Depends how pedantic they are on these quizzes

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 11:06

The one before epoct (not sure if number) is tiapi (my spelling is terrible)

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:07

Orlando fits as then it would read "Who gave his name to ....."

OP posts:
ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:08

Is number 17 (with the dome) Milan or Florence?

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 11:09

@Thegrassisntalwaysgreener

Agreed, number 15 is Taipei City so 16 should be Orlando.

Who gave his name to ... F R S T NG

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:09

Definitely Florence!

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 11:09

22 is that the spire thing in Toronto?

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 11:09

Cross post!

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 11:13

F R S T ING

The I third from end is Indianapolis. I belive

Sparticle · 08/12/2021 11:13

Well done @IdontWanna!

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 11:15

Could it be "who gave his name to first setting"

So, what was the first picture named after?
