in a Scottish accent?
bino - thanks
hi everyone.
i've read the whole thread and even with the clues can't get the french horn. help it's the last one to finish
can’t get the french horn
Imagine you had a yellow-ish glove on one hand, described in a Scottish accent
Celebrity with the name of the instrument (different spelling). Check out the previous clues linking them to Kurt Russell.
that one was so tenuous it untrue. but got them all now
77.
maths symbols, pink handbag and the 5th beetle!?
Zoom in and read what the beetles have printed on them...if you said it three times, this person would appear...
Again, I wasn't thinking literally enough - I'm on 72 now...
blimey id never have spotted that!! 😀
got the other two too. handbag very simple. maths symbols still eluded me so just googled '+–=÷x tour' and got the answer immediately. would never have guessed it.
80/80 first one ive ever finished!!
Just the glass panel left...can anyone offer a clue?
It'll be your Donald Duck that someone comes along and takes the Mickey out of you being stuck on this...plenty folk will but a small few dinnae.

Thanks, I have the answer now but absolutely no idea how that relates to the clue. I'll research that!
Unless there are 2 answers for the glass then I reckon my post gives it away...maybe depends on the accent you read it in though. 😉
Yeah, sorry, the clue is fine and I have the answer now. I meant I can't yet see the link to the glass panel.
on the glass panel, had to zoom in a bit and stare until I saw it

Subtle. Got it, thanks
Ach mein gott, sacre bleu and merde.
75/80.
Diamond glove - I just can't see it.
Fox M on the tap - likewise.
I don't even know where to look for the others...
Wooden duck?
Candle in a jar?
I must be missing a beer mat one.
And that Bluethroat one is an ornithological travesty.
🙂
If the diamond glove had been used in a robbery, the news flash would mention a Smooth Criminal!
Transform your thinking, although after a falling out with the director, they didn't appear in any other of those films...but did get protected by the heroes in a half shell!
there is a list on the page 6 i think of all the clue positions. but the beer mats test your history and film knowledge. i certainly got a sinking feeling on one
duck and candle are not clues
Dear god, I enjoy this quiz every year but by god some of those were tenuous* & I wouldn't have gotten all 80 without this thread. Cheers
*Bloody song bird, damned horn, & the 6 rings...
edit: the duck may not be a duck, but is a clue
edit: the duck may not be a duck, but is a clue
79 and I haven't got the duck/whatever.
Can you be any more forthcoming without giving it away. I went with 'Drake', but no go.
6 rings was the last one I got. Don't lose your head over it.
80!
It wasn't the wooden duck (and that isn't a clue). It was the handbag - which someone suggested was a red herring (it isnt).
One person I've never heard of (beer tap Fox M), but the rest all good.
Frustrating and fun in equal measure.

both bird and person from North America. Think youngster or you will end up La La
The wasp/hornet nest has me stumped.
It was the handbag – which someone suggested was a red herring (it isnt).
the fact that it is a handbag is the red herring.
The wasp/hornet nest has me stumped.
Dont stand so close
The wasp/hornet nest has me stumped.
Ignore the nest, concentrate on the wasps, as mentioned previous what do they do...
It wasn’t the wooden duck (and that isn’t a clue).
Apologies I thought we were talking about the duck that not a duck, under the bar stools
The wasp/hornet nest has me stumped.
I spoke to Roxanne a few minutes ago - she's stumped too. Maybe send an SOS?
the fact that it is a handbag is the red herring
A multi-level red herring!
I only need the X and the american graffiti ones is to do with the film? Just can't think anymore
I'm rubbish at crypt clues.. so how's about how I got it, by mistake trying to identify the quote under the beer taps & yes to your second question (I'd never heard of it).
😂 I thought at first that when I saw the quote on the bar but didn't type it in, as I corrected myself!
I've tried the main ones from American Graffiti but they don't work, maybe I need to keep going down the list....
Edit: Bloody hell! The director!!
Got them all now though, woo hoo!
Edit: Bloody hell! The director!!
My thoughts exactly.
I've just completed it with the 6 Rings but took forever because that one seems to need a specific uppercase description.
the X
X marks the spot where Macbeth stabbed the man's father...
I’m rubbish at crypt clues
Often the only way if the answer is someone who is no longer alive.
5 left to get...haven't worked out where the clues are but convinced the beer mats are still hiding some answers - I've 3 of them but can't work out the others. The 6 beer pumps have 1 answered and I can't see what the other 5 pump handles relate to but ESB and London Pride could be clues, but are not hitting anything in my thick skull!
ESB and London Pride could be clues
Cold, cold...
If that is a clue, it isn't obvious enough for me...finally got the coffee cup thing...I knew it was a clue but took a terrible song on the radio to get me the connection.
The X has me stumped...last one! I hate these after the second day of not getting them...hahaha.
The X has me stumped…last one! I hate these after the second day of not getting them…hahaha.
That was the last one I got and had me head scratching for yonks, but when you get it's blatantly obvious. There's nothing cryptic or clever about the clue. It's a name.
The X has me stumped
Its in the middle with Mr McLaren.....
Read this thread many times and still stuck on the wooden X and the cocktail... I must be missing something obvious!
I must be missing something obvious!
You are!
The Cocktail has nothing to do with it's colour - it is tenuous yet obvious, like a badly fitting schuh.
X marks the spot in a SW county where a wayward fast bowler might be found. If not consult the Marshall. (hope you're into cricket).
Stuck on a couple:
1. Broomstick - tried all obvious connections with Harry Potter and no joy
2. HARPO on the chalk board
Because Harpo didn't talk, he could easily be construed as a bit....
Broomstick - the pen is mightier than the wand, or the broomstick for that matter.
Broomstick – tried all obvious connections with Harry Potter and no joy
Then you must no have tried them all. Its not an actor or character.
I seem to be the only person in the world still not able to get the milk and reigns. I'm on 72 and little chance of budging.
I seem to be the only person in the world still not able to get the milk and reigns.
It could be worse, you could end up walking like him...
Thanks. got the Harry Potter one now that I removed the space between the initials!
Also stuck on the sale one.
The milk and reigns are related to a film quote
Also stuck on the sale one.
What does the ticket tell you? Read the whole ticket closely.
Okay, got the milk one now but I honestly had no idea he was associated with milk in any way!
Okay, got the milk one now but I honestly had no idea he was associated with milk in any way!
It's a quote from a film that rang a very faint bell with me.
2. HARPO on the chalk board
droab klahc eht no.......
All done, knowing there was two on the phone was the key.
X is still escaping me...I don't know anything about cricket so no help there and my google skills return some cricket names that I don't know and the system doesn't accept...mildly annoying I've got 1 left but I really need to stop...this has been winding me up for the last 3 days now...I've got other things to get too involved with!
Hahaha...blooming hate these as I never get them and then get wound up that I can't!
Awesome, thanks! that's me done.
X is still escaping me
Not entirely - you've already got half the answer.
X is still escaping me
They didn't 'escape' in 1965...
Is the Milk and Reins just the one person??
Stuck on 71.
Annoyed..
X is still escaping me…I don’t know anything about cricket so no help there.
The answer is nothing to do with cricket. The clue is half of the answer and a pretty obvious one, not cryptic at all. Don't overthink it.
Just so everyone on the same page...

as for the X one.. see my post up there ^^^ replying to ads678
Think the list of clues might have one clue twice (1 x bag and 1 x handbag). Replace bag with 1 x glasses ?
Good grief! Finally got it...thanks for the patience and attempts at helping with clues...I really am thick!!!
owenh could I just ask you which 'glasses' you mean?
I have got 79 and have everything on the list (including 2 on the William picture) but I'm still one short and can't find a clue for it.
Got the 2 clues on the phone? And the 2 clues on the painting to the left of the clue?
Dick Barton - sorry I don't know how to quote a post.
Yes I've got those, and I've been through every single one on the list and got them all, although they had quoted the bag twice so it's only 79.
I know that someone said that the 'weather' on the light was 2 clues, but I think it's only one.
Only 1 for me...in the lower left section - from the maths symbols down and from big dog towards left edge - how many have you got?
Including the Puggy and boxes but not the wee bird about the math symbols.
I've 17 in that area.
Got the 2 top hats (each 1 a clue)?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'puggy' but yes, I've got 17 in the area you describe.
I really appreciate your help, but please don't put yourself out.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll go through all 79 one by one and compare them with the list shown on here. I know that there are some quirky things with the ifour site re spellings and typos, but as long as you get a yellow dot you know it's been registered
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘puggy’
Fruit machine
If I have time tomorrow, I’ll go through all 79 one by one and compare them with the list shown on here.
That list only adds up to 78 (79 with the extra William)
could I just ask you which ‘glasses’ you mean?
Theres the pane of glass and the theres a pair of sunglass next to the Bee and C
could I just ask you which ‘glasses’ you mean?
on the bar stool with the ‘C’.
I do need to have the pane of glass one explained to me, though.
I quit on 78
the pane of glass has a subtle shadow in it
Answer to saucemerlin: you need to really stare at the pane of glass and you should see, very faintly in grey, the outline of the ears of a famous cartoon character. The answer is the name of the creator of this character.
on the bar stool with the ‘C’.
Oh right, thanks. I thought you meant drinking glasses.
That list only adds up to 78 (79 with the extra William)
Yes, I've just realised that!
Right - I've got 80!
Even though I knew there were 5 clues in the insects, I hadn't submitted the 5th one and I didn't notice that I hadn't due to the proximity of the other yellow dots.
Thanks to all of you who responded to my queries, and may I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Congrats!
Ha...I just got the final one watching a Christmas movie that's on now 😂
Ya filthy animal! 😉
Indeed....could have googled I suppose but never did 😁
