It's time 🎵🎶 well nearly, 2 hours and change until it drops. It should be 10.30.
Its my favourite time of year but as usual I will probably be useless and depend heavily on mumsnetters for help to decipher.

I searched and couldn't find another thread if there's one already up and running ill delete this.

Edited for proper link

Finally got the calendar. All done, Wouldn't have finished it without everyone's help x

Had a weird glitch and some weren't accepted first time. Tattoo one took about four attempts

I'm still missing the painting, the safe, and the books with names of seas. Any hints please? Number of words for each would be very helpful.

@Cleo2025the safe is written by a Dutch author and was nominated for lots of awards

the boats in the picture are on what where ?

the sea books? You’ve already got it, it just repeats!

Thank you! Got them all now. 😀

Finally finished with a lot of help from you guys!!

What's a "scholarly" term for a witch's friend that is also an animal?
I'm stuck on the side table books - both names of seas, but nothing I've tried has worked. As for the arm, I was sure it was that Nordic detective thing, but no!

Double check you’ve got the name of the book you were putting in for the arm correct - for some reason it didn’t like accepting my answer for that and it sounds like you may be thinking of the same one.

You’re almost there with “the sea” books, but try it twice.

Phew! I think I got more wild guesses this year.

I had the same problem with the arm clue. I had to just keep trying.

Thanks! It was the wrong segment of the picture (arm), not the wrong answer - that girl is getting on my nerves - she's got three different clues, not including the fruit throw (blanket, shawl....). The seas I got, thanks!

Any thoughts on the vegetable books? I've got thirteen so far, and considering I only started at 5 pm (UTC), I'm doing pretty well. My sister tries to persuade me to save a few clues for later, because it's a bit of an anti-climax when I finish!

The vegetables is a book by a Korean winner of the Nobel Prize

Thanks! Got it!

Surely zero on one of those tests is an achievement in itself? It shows how many variations there are in thinking styles. I notice I gravitate towards cognitive tasks I excel in , which is not good for brain health. I would be better off developing neglected areas.

I got 7 right answers in about 15 minutes and now am stuck. I might need to go back through this thread and check out the clues.

My zero definitely stood out!

I enrolled on a dressmaking course once and it was hopeless. I just couldn't grasp how the pieces of paper were meant to relate to the thing I was trying to make.

Sorry if you already updated but did you manage? If not can you just click on previous and next down at the bottom?

Finally got the hair one eye roll just the computer trying me insane and it's the last one! Couldn't have got the others without this forum so ta! but can anyone help?

Which are you stuck on? The laptop? Another word for tomato KETCHUP is tomato SAUCE and a computer data term.... does that help? Change sauce to a homophone....

THANK YOU! sorry to shout but it's been bugging me for the last 3 hours - wouldn't have got it without your help x

Thank you all! Couldn’t have done it without you….(but then again, I wouldn’t have tried it in the first place if I hadn’t seen it here! 😂😂)

I had help too!

I can’t get this quite right. Is it one word or is there an article with it?

Two words and yes to your question.

Finished, & I wouldn't have made it without the help here (& some vigorous googling), so thank you. And many thanks to the OP.

For anyone stuck on the laptop one, there's an unrelated film starring Jake Gyllenhaal with the same title.
