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

And underneath that it says "what's missing?"

Zinoviev was President of the Comintern when the League of Nations was formed. Sadly Hirohito was not Emperor at that time and none of the rest makes sense. I was just briefly excited to find a potential way in!

The what's missing one makes me think of I'm too sexy

Milan New York and Japan

I can't tell from the photo, but is it the current version of the Brazilian flag, with 27 stars? May be completely irrelevant of course 😂

Would it be shirt then as that the only thing that RSF were too sexy for that's missing (I think)?

PatriciaHolm · 05/12/2023 13:06

Yep - too sexy for - shirt.

And too sexy for this song (last one)

houseofstark · 05/12/2023 13:07

I'm too slow for most of these! But I think the photo one is shirt as well

WitcheryDivine · 05/12/2023 13:08

Yes think so Apocalypse well done the genius that spotted that :)

WonderingAboutBabies · 05/12/2023 13:08

Jumping on... the flag one has me absolutely baffled!

I thought it might be to do with roman numbers... CL would be 150, V would be 5, D would be 500...

Shirt is correct so now just stuck on xx and the dreaded flags

Mooserp · 05/12/2023 13:15

Woohoo! I'm chuffed I spotted that.

No idea on the flags

WitcheryDivine · 05/12/2023 13:16

I really really can't think what the Strictly one could be if not HY.

Flags....maybe something to do with colours? Or the phonetic alphabet?
How, I'm not sure

Did you see my question about the Brazil flag? Wondered if it's the current flag with 27 stars or a previous version.

Still stuck on Strictly 'XX'.
Could it be something to do with kisses or multiply/times?
Clutching at more straws!

WitcheryDivine · 05/12/2023 13:50

I feel like we're all stuck.

WetBandits · 05/12/2023 13:52

There must be some relevance to the CL being on the same line for Vietnam, and B G K all being on separate lines for the US?

What exactly the relevance is, I have no idea 😂

Sorry yes it is China! My brain is spinning 😵‍💫

The first letters under the top row are also an alphabetical sequence BCDE.

There are a lot of alphabetical coincidences, plus the clue??

Still can't get any further...
