message 356: by Anna (new)

Anna (justanna) | 145 comments Ok managed to figure out the thermometer one all by myself, or at least i thought to check my spelling!!!!

Two nights without sleep taking its toll (it is that, I'm usually an amazing speller, honest!!)


message 357: by Anna (new)

Anna (justanna) | 145 comments Also got the bomb just, sadly can't really feel that clever for working it out, I'm also talking to myself,

I've seen the quiz, got a few quite quickly but not had a chance to have a proper think! Are they tricky? Sounds like it!

I thought the ticket was Murder on the Orient Express but it rejected that and I couldn't think of anything else straightaway.

Will have a proper try tomorrow!

They are till you know what they are and then the are very annoyingly obvious!

They are also doing a win a £250 token, elsewhere on the site. A while ago I did win a £50 token

Yes, it's a case of trying to "say what you see" I imagine. I glanced at it, some were very obvious, I think I got to 8 quite quickly but I need to come at it with fresh eyes I think! Crazy week, building up to big event we are putting on tomorrow night and I am still working on the table plan.... It will work, somehow. :-/

Are you sure you had the picture properly selected Jo? :S

The baby... George that was born this year is a ...

The plane.... it's not Ryanair...

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod
Jen, I did it so quickly, I don't know! And on one I found that when I missed off "A" at the beginning it rejected it too. You have to get the title absolutely bang on I think?


message 367: by Jen (new)

Jen (jefnerf) | 369 comments Mod
I think so, like I wrote 50 instead of Fifty and it said something like "close but try again"


message 368: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 82 comments I had that a couple of times. I think the bottle was the hardest one for me!

message 378: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl Hall | 22 comments Ok so the bomb.

What does a bomb represent?
What does the symbol represent?


message 379: by Jo (new)

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod

message 381: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl Hall | 22 comments Do you want another hint?


message 382: by Jo (new)

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod
Thanks Cheryl. I am going to have another look in the morning, but if I draw a blank I may come begging!! Want to see if I can wrap up the last three. I am sure they are obvious! Suspect you will hear from me in the morning...


message 383: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl Hall | 22 comments Alright. Good luck!

I saw that! :-)


message 386: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl Hall | 22 comments I could only find 7 at first glance.


message 387: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 82 comments I've got 8, this one seems harder!

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod
Oh golly, it's just arrived with me - reminded me that I never got the last 3 of the last one!

I've done 6, but there are 3 which say nearly there when I've put the title as per how it appears in Amazon, just trying to be as accurate as possible but it won't add them.

The Baked Bean tin and
The Compass and
The drawing of the lady......


message 389: by Jen (new)

Jen (jefnerf) | 369 comments Mod
not a drawing of a lady ....but a .... of a lady

What three are you missing?

Going to have a go at this in a moment!


message 392: by Anna (new)

Anna (justanna) | 145 comments I've 11. Think I've hit a brick wall!

I tried that Elizabeth, but it rejected it!

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod
Bizarre. It accepted it this morning. I am finding it hard to focus though, that man with the enormous sandwich is rather off putting!

Paul, I am left with the nearly empty bottle, the plane and the dice head man.

Anna, I am also at 11. Have you got either of the hands?


message 396: by Anna (new)

Anna (justanna) | 145 comments Ive three left of the second

The three soldiers
The thing with the 1 on it (is it a baby's rattle?)
The rook and the net

Totally stumped.

Jo, with the plane think what the air line might be call, probably a name similar to a budget air line. With the bottle, you have to think about what the volume of the bottle is, and the level of the water. As for the man think of him as a whole not just his head.


message 397: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 82 comments Yay, I've got them all now! Try the simplest ideas, that seems to work.


message 398: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 82 comments Anna, it's not a rattle. And think of another word for the chess piece...


message 399: by Jo (new)

Jo Weston (joster) | 1697 comments Mod
Well done Shirley!

Anna, thanks, I got those three now. Second one, still at 11, but with the last one I tended to find that each time I came back I got one more, so hoping that may happen this time too.
