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 😊

Yes @SoupDragon!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/12/2021 11:16

@SoupDragon

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

So, what was the first picture named after?

Good thought.

George then?

QuiltedBear · 08/12/2021 11:16

George Washington?

So George?

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 11:21

Unless the building it shows is named after someone else.

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 11:23

@SoupDragon 👏👏

Just to try and complete the cities, think 23 is Edmonton Canada (the Walterdale Bridge in the pic)

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:24

x post!

CrumbsThatsQuick · 08/12/2021 11:26

Err, Can we go back to James Cameron please?

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 11:29

Isn't it the capitol building?

I couldn't see the photos clearly enough to tell 😂

minou123 · 08/12/2021 11:29

Is the main building in the 1st picture The Capitol?

According to wiki:
The word "Capitol" comes from Latin and is associated with the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on Capitoline Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome.

So maybe Jupiter Optimus Maximus?

Or am I overthinking this?

OP does your work just accept that no work gets done this week? Im only following on here and I swear I've done no work since 3pm yesterday!

She writes as she frantically refreshers ready for the next question Grin

@ApocalypseNowt

It's ok minou we've got the answer to that puzzle now!
Oops sorry, I missed your post. Blush

I'm trying so hard, but I fear these quizzes are not my strength.

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:35

edin I think most people give up pretty quickly tbh!

Instructions are: Member of two different groups are encrypted. The encryption method is the same for both groups, but the key to decrypting each group is different.

Once you've discovered the names of the two groups, place the two in alphabetical order to use as the password for the next stage.

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 11:38

Need to pop out now but I'm thinking they're both substitution cyphers (but a different substitution used for the two groups)?

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 11:45

I have a link to a page that decrypts stuff like this and 3 and 4 are Iron Man and Captain America.

I didn't type them all in!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/12/2021 11:48

Second to last will be Black Widow then, I bet.

I'm not good enough on marvel to do them all though!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/12/2021 11:50

I'm not working today and am meant to be decorating the Christmas tree! It'll only have lights on by tonight if I keep looking at this. Grin

edin16 · 08/12/2021 11:51

7th one would be Thor

Saisong · 08/12/2021 11:52

Going by that is QBKO Thor?

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 11:52

Thor is in there.

I'll work through them but I have to split them into the two groups at the same time!
