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 know the answer to this one. It's elements and atomic numbers. SINGAPORE

Got to go soon but will leave some next stage puzzles and will be back in the AM...

Are the letters in the second photo currency?

I was feeling delighted that is just worked this out, mainly because I recognised the atomic number for sodium!

MadamWillYouTalk · 04/12/2023 21:55

The XX one is Strictly winners (clues are series numbers and initials). It should be Hamza Yassin.

Tarkan · 04/12/2023 21:55

For the animals went in if you add two letters to the start of each word in each group I think you would get another word.

4 could be ER as it would make ermine, errant and erring

And then the 8 letters together are the answer?

PandaCory · 04/12/2023 21:55

I just worked out Singapore

CurlsnSunshinetime4tea · 04/12/2023 21:57

  1. RE - repair, replay, resign
  1. MA - making, malady, malice
  1. ST - strain, stride, stroll
  1. ER - ermine, errant, erring

Answer then is remaster

MadamWillYouTalk · 04/12/2023 22:00

It maybe just wants the initials HY?

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 04/12/2023 22:02

Shock of those albums was released first? Album one?

Tarkan · 04/12/2023 22:04

Woohoo, we got the same answer @SoupDragon so definitely seems likely then.

As I said earlier I NEVER get these things. I'm going to take myself to bed on a happy note after that. Grin

They are atomic numbers.

14 = Silicon = Si
7 = Nitrogen = N
31 = Gallium = Ga
84 = Polonium = Po
75 = Rhenium = Re

Singapore.
