Stupidly hard quiz

Quizzers assemble!

It's back. My stupidly hard Xmas work quiz is live. As per usual I've done round one and now I'm stuck on the answer for round 2.

I've actually identified all the pictures, found the clue but the answer isn't working 😭

Sorry for crappy pictures but if you use the first letter of each of the album names it spells out "album ones singers" so I thought it must be the singers on the Arctic Monkeys album 'AM'....but whichever way I put the names in it doesn't work.

Then I thought as the clue at the top is "Artistless" maybe I had to remove Alex Turner (as Turner is a famous artist) but I'm still striking out!

As always, any help appreciated & if I've missed any of the amazing quizzers who usually play along (I know I have) please feel free to tag them

I can't believe it's all over.

Thank you @ApocalypseNowt for another year of tears, frustrations and laughs.

I normally use rhe phrase "think horses not zebras", but after the bastard flag round, it has changed to "think Street Fighter, not Nobel Peace Prize winners" . 😁

See you next year

This is one of those occasions when being an expat in Canada sucks. I’m 7 hours behind, so you lot are up and at it, solving the puzzles and I’m still asleep!

Well done everyone!

Love these quizzes but I mostly read along.
Although I did get 3 of the tube stations before I read that they were tube stations (I'm reading the thread a day late)

I can't do all the sport and popular culture ones.

Google Image search is your friend here ;-)

Mooserp · 07/12/2023 10:54

Thank you @steppemum I am going to print that one out for family to have a go at too.

Anyone know where else online to get similar puzzles?

steppemum · 07/12/2023 11:04

Thanks to the person who got no. 7 - Northolt by the way.

steppemum · 07/12/2023 11:06

can someone explaint he Peirre SD one?

Thanks

Stringagal · 07/12/2023 11:30

Thanks so much @steppemum!

can someone explaint he Peirre SD one?

Thanks

The names are American state capitals and the letters are the states they are in, so SD is South Dakota and the capital is Pierre.

steppemum · 07/12/2023 11:59

Thank you!

It should begin with an 'N' so my guess would be Northwood Hills.

Jumping back to the Tube stops puzzle, this one is Northholt - Captain Holt being the head of the squad in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Can you explain further please @Squiblet?

Are you getting the 'North' from the 'high up' part of the clue?

Squiblet · 08/12/2023 18:50

Yes, since north is usually up on a map. Bit of a stretch by the quizmasters there

WitcheryDivine · 11/12/2024 19:57

Have I missed this year’s @ApocalypseNowt
