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!

Well done!!!!

Imagine someone being able to identify all those films without help!

That's the meta stage done.

I'm going to suggest to our local pub quiz that they should revise it to include a meta stage each week Grin

14 ex machina

MaggieFS · 12/12/2022 15:14

Oooh - never see this before, I love it! I'm bloody useless (the only ones I got were borders and a few flags), but I am in awe, especially of film knowledge.

Ronbo · 12/12/2022 15:27

26 is Once Upon a Time in the West

HereComeTheGrannies · 12/12/2022 15:37

19 - Drive

MangoBiscuit · 12/12/2022 15:39

13 The Princess Bride?

ApocalypseNowt · 12/12/2022 15:45

All correct. We've solved that one now - the answer was 'the good, the bad and the ugly'.

Glad to have you aboard Maggie - the more the merrier and you never know what the next round is going to be. You might be our secret weapon!

Speaking of next round.....anyone used to be a gamer back in the day....?

So far I (think) I've got 6 = tomb raider, 9 = guitar hero, 10 = crash bandicoot, 16 = pong, 31 = lemmings

My favourite round!

Came on to contribute 5, 8, 9,10 and 14 - all of which had been solved.

HereComeTheGrannies · 12/12/2022 15:47

1 is worms I think

Mustangsallyis · 12/12/2022 15:50

17 Duck Hunt?

AtomicRitual · 12/12/2022 15:50

Is 7 Mortal Kombat? Or maybe 22 is?!

My DH would be good at this round. Shame he's at work!
