Stupidly difficult work quiz

424 replies

Seasons greetings!

The stupidly difficult work quiz is back for those of you that remember (@rosegoldwatcher).

Basically there are a series of very hard puzzles to solve - each puzzle solve gives you a password to move onto the next stage.

I've already managed to solve stage one myself (go me!) but I've ground to a halt as usual on the second stage (which consists of 8 individual puzzles to solve).

Here's a couple of puzzles i'm stuck on - any help much appreciated!

yes it is, if you google image search the right location you'll usually be able to find it in the first few results (in this case, lascaux)

I think you’re right. Couldn’t make out anything but cave but now you’ve said it, can kind of see the bull like images. I think.

Is 7 the Valley of the Kings (Egypt) - King Tut's tomb?

17 is Lascaux as you said
19 is Atomium as a PP mentioned but with the wrong number
28 is Burj al Arab, Dubai (also mentioned earlier but with the wrong number, glad I'm not the only one that gets confused)
