Stupidly hard quiz

Quizzers assemble!

@rosegoldwatcher

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

Hamza Yassin full name is Hamza Ahmed Yassin.

So, could it be Ahmed Yassin? (5,6)

I think I may be clutching at straws

Tried it anyway but no

Flags - is that the flag for Thailand with the question mark?

Ketakones · 05/12/2023 09:38

Can you just enter the initials for the strictly one, not his whole name? (No doubt you have already tried!)

I'm very firmly inside the box. The big one marked 'stupid'.

Trying to think what things are not just for Christmas other than the dog slogan 🤔

I've been looking at crufts winners, horseracing.....nothing jumping out so far.

I'm thinking the second S in the first set of initials might all be the same name/word...so if we figured that out we could solve it

Brussel sprouts are not just for Christmas, if that helps.

Quidditch for the 9 letter game one? I think those are the positions?

I think it’s Quidditch too.

The positions match (left column) but there is one too many balls listed on the right hand side I think.

Yayyyy! I am addicted and playing this from the other side of the world when I should be sleeping!

For the Hamza Yassin one, do you think you need to put the comma in, like the heading shows, so 'Hamza,Yassin' ?

You don't usually but I had a go anyway. Still no!

I’m a bit late but fully invested in this now Grin

The ‘not just for Christmas’ one, was the second column already filled in or have you got those answers yourself? If you answered them, what were your answers as there could be a theme?

EvilRingahBitch · 05/12/2023 10:04

In straw grasping territory have you tried possible spelling errors like Humza Yassin or Hamza Yassim?
