Stupidly difficult work quiz

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!

Great spot @OliveHenry

Ah yes! The one in the football goal is Rene Higuta (sp?) - and it's called the scorpion kick so Scorpio!

So the answer is the missing one - 6 letters - cancer?

ApocalypseNowt · 12/12/2022 11:32

Answer is 'cancer' (I tried any six letter signs that we hadn't figured out!)

I was thinking about this quiz just the other day and wondered when it would be here 😂

Snap!

I was just thinking the same yesterday.

Trouble is, I'm useless at this quiz, but I enjoy seeing everyone else working it out

OliveHenry · 12/12/2022 11:35

I'm thinking Stripes might have something to do with flags but not sure what yet...

No 5 is counties that they share borders with I think

Algeria shares borders with 7 countries , Costa Rica 2

ApocalypseNowt · 12/12/2022 11:42

Good call Racingadmin .....I've been looking up so many lists of countries (populations density, wealth, size, etc) but couldn't get anything to fit!

First photo middle row is Dev Patel

voguelizzie · 12/12/2022 11:44

Is the countries one not just alphabetical? So the missing answer is japan? That might be too easy though 😳

ApocalypseNowt · 12/12/2022 11:45

answer to continental calculations is 21168 (1x6x8x9x7x7)

For info the 'title' of the puzzle at the top is usually a bit of a clue and the number in brackets is the number of letters &/or numbers in the answer

Ignore me, I'm clearly not keeping up.🙄

The rainbow one - are they seas and oceans?

Yes I’d say add up the stripes which form part of a flag. So eg 7 8 9 is the Irish flag. 34 35 36 is the Belgian flag. there’s also france 27 28 29 and italy 39 40 41 in there. I may have missed some…

Yep - Ireland, the green white green is Nigeria so add 11, 12, 13.
