Brain Teasers and Quizzes

What made it worse about the prvious clue is that google maps, of all things, din’t know the exact location of what I was looking for, it took me about 20 attempts to get close enough for the “Search Here” button to work!!

Is that a clue??

Each of the images reinforces the same clue - i.e. they don’t build and you don’t have to add them together to create the answer. The link is very obvious.

Take what you know that each of the women has in common, and as @btripz said, think about how you’re travelling to the next spot and where it might be as a result and get Googling.

A general tip for all the destinations is that when you find a destination, try using Wikipedia as the source for the place. Wikipedia often has the coordinates in the top right hand of the page (large screen devices only).

Copy those coordinates into the search in the quiz, zoom all the way in and then click the centre of the screen before guessing. I believe the quiz creator uses those coordinates in setting the quiz.

Lol.

No, mate. Wish it were. I am royally stuck here.

Well, I don’t think it is. I can see why you asked…

See my point earlier about using Wikipedia’s coordinates.

Apparently, in previous years the game creator said to use Wikipedia’s coordinates but neglected to do so this year.

By the way, in attempting to solve the numbers+cartoon+elle clue, I stumbled across a location for a future clue.

I thought I’d solved the bloody thing, only to realise that I’d jumped from part 1, clue 7 to part 2 clue 4.

Bollocks!

Has anyone else found it?

‘NO EGG HERE’ x20, haha

Yep, I’ve just found Part 2, Clue 4 as well…

after spending longer than I care to admit “driving” round google maps looking for a village matching the common theme between pictures on clue 6, I finally removed my head from my arse and found it

A HA! found solution to 7 - you need to know what all 3 pictures are.

Up to 13 now, thought it was the end. It is not.

Bastard!

It’s driving me to distraction.

Can you provide a mild hint?

I think we’ve got the constant e, a meme called Y U No and a cover from Elle magazine.

The clues in the text suggest it’s somewhere towards Jack Rackham’s place of death, and also hint at a French interpretation.

How does my brain need to think?

Just read the first part ‘The beginning’.

I’m shocked. This actually happened to me and is one of many reasons I stopped drinking.

What a night though :wink:

1 letter per picture.

I can help more if needed, but don’t want to spoil it.

I love you!

So do I!

Part 1 done, thouroughly enjoyed it

It’s infinitely more enjoyable than working, but I spent too long on it yesterday and have given myself a deadline problem for today.

Where the fucking fuck is the place for clue 6? Any hints?

Discussed a page back, but…

All the pictures have something in common and you will need a car to get there…

Is the one with the 3 pictures (photos of 2 women and a painting of a woman)?

Hints below will get progressively more revealing so stop before you’ve had too many…

You will only need to identify one of images to get it.

Each of the women have a single thing in common.

The picture that gave it to me was the bottom image - the stylised picture. I looked at it and immediately knew what it represented (don’t know why). If you don’t know, follow this process…

Look at the woman in the image…

…where is she - given that she is surrounded by the sun and the moon?

…what is the isometric shape that appears near her face?

…given where she is and what is surrounding her, what might her name be?

…Go on you can get it - I’m a Believer

So given that all three images lead you to the same word, what single fact might all the women share?

You’ve got car keys to get you to the next place?

…what does that tell you about where it might be?

…what does it tell you about what country you might be in?

Given that you now know the thing that the women have in common, and you know what country you’re in, what two words might you type into Google?

Hope this helps - but to be honest I’m only helping you to get to clue 7 which is a bastard!
