For the last few years, @ApocalypseNowt has posted the quiz from her workplace. Surely it's time for this year's joint MN effort...?

I'm guessing the car manufacturer might be FIAT but not sure how to solve the puzzle.

Vietcong = VC?
Derek Jeter's nickname is the captain I think.

I thought the car might be Lambo, is the answer supposed to be a four letter song title? Baffled!

Mike Judge is an animator.

Hurrah!!

Ah I’ve got the song one I think!!

Are we allowed to post guesses?

Edited to add: Fuck it, YMCA.

ApocalypseNowt · 09/12/2024 12:27

I will check the answer as soon as I'm back at my desk! How did you get to YMCA?

FuckItItsFine · 09/12/2024 12:29

Derek Jeter played for the Yankees
Mike Judge
Viet Cong (Victor) Charlie
Alfa Romeo

NATO Alphabet

I’ve got the other one now as well I think…

ApocalypseNowt · 09/12/2024 12:34

@FuckItItsFine you can stay! Welcome to the quiz!

GameOfJones · 09/12/2024 12:40

Is the answer to the flag one Costa Rica? Only getting that from the letters though!

FuckItItsFine · 09/12/2024 12:59

@ApocalypseNowt Thanks 😄

I think the flags one is James Bond. Nationalities of the actors

ApocalypseNowt · 09/12/2024 13:04

YMCA and James Bond are correct!

Here's the next one - this one has been doing my head in. I think it must be speeches of some kind but can't figure out what..!

Oh God I feel like Hermione as I think I’ve got that one, too 🙈 “Crawl” gave me an idea, which I googled and it seems to fit.

FuckItItsFine · 09/12/2024 13:39

Hmmm I’m confused actually. I think it’s the opening crawls from Star Wars films but Star Wars is (4,4) letters, not (9) 🤔

Could it be Skywalker? Also known as Skywalker saga

Is is... are they from different episodes so the numbers mean something? Eg
ThetGR. Ttotrtossiid. is from Ep 1. There are 9 different ones which match the 9 wanted for the answer

Any chance we could see the ones you've already done? My meeting is soooo dull.

Yeah, tried that and it didn't work
