1 left. the wastepaper basket

I still haven't managed to work out the context for this one. It was one of my last few and I just plugged in bin related phrases and one hit, luckily pretty quickly. Its by far the worst "clue"

Me and the Mrs didn't give up and we now only need 5 more having just got the postcard one 🙂

the second egg (rotten one?)
The plum - feel like a prize fool
the picture with eyes - EDIT - got it - that makes me feel better seeing that clue

"Someone, anyone, please before I drive myself mad, the waste paper basket and the damn spitting water deer head."

Both relevant words for the two answers are mentioned here - the fact that it is a deer and water is irrelevant, as is the material in the bin.

The bin clue is particularly tenuous - it only really relates to one out of the four words in the answer.

Got there finally with a bit of help. The last few were just annoying to be honest. The plum one was not an expression I've ever really heard, ditto the green egg one.

Aside from that some of the clues were pretty great.

It's not a tiger. Clue:

Finally got both of those. They're total shockers...

56... Still not got...

Crisps and toast.
The fiddle (this one is doing my head in).
The exact wording for the thumb.
The second bird phrase.
The bloke and the chair (I'm starting to feel a bit thick on this one now).
The plum. EDIT - just got this one by typing random crap in.

I’m on 60/62 and very stuck! I think what I’m missing is...

The second bird phrase (I’ve only got one, i have no idea what someone’s clue earlier about it being rotund means!)

Did someone say the apple was 3? I have two (one for the apple, one for the pills). If it’s not there, I have no idea where the last clue is!

Looks like it has you going in circles

Did someone say the apple was 3? I have two (one for the apple, one for the pills). If it’s not there, I have no idea where the last clue is!

Yes, one on the pills two on the apple

Is it sending you crazy? You really aren't on it.

The exact wording for the thumb.

Are you sure you have the right phrase? It's pretty obvious when you get it (although the first word is unconventional)

I'm on 60/62 (with a lot of help from this forum, thank you!) I think the two I need to get are...

- The second bird one
(I have the worm; someone gave a clue about the bird being rotund and about "going in circles", but I don't think I get it?)

- The 3rd apple one
(I've got the pills and the "prescription", let's say!)

(Apologies for the double post - made a new account on my phone but then it timed out while posting, then logged into my laptop and turned out it remembered my account from a couple of years back when I was trying to do THAT ifour quiz! Ha)

Second bird clue - the first answer deals with the blue tit, the second relates to the circular looking remaining bird.

2nd Apple clue needs hi res and zoom in on it.

It's an apple... and how is it an apple...?! So stuck (I've got the "one a day" clue, not sure if this is a clue to that one or the one I haven't got

Got the 2nd bird one! Thank you 🙂 just an apple away from full points now!

58 for me, with the following looking like they should be where I need to focus:

antlers top right?
ram on the table?
whatever the hell that is (with a plaster?) on the chair?
the bath and whatever it is on top of it?

don't think I've made any use of the fish (apart from the unlucky one on the table)

two on the clock & two for the apples?

please send easy to get clues.......or beer

Of those 4, only the plastered digit stands out as a clue.

The other three things you mention aren’t clues at all I’m afraid.

61/62

I think I've got all the ones mentioned on here so I must be missing something obvious.

Assuming the ram on the right isn't a clue, are the two canoes a clue.

Crisps relate to the overcooked bread just above them.

Canoes aren't a clue.

One clue for the tablets, 2 for the apple.

No. Two on the apple (and another on the pills) and two on the clock

Also two bids and two eggs. I think that is all the multiples. Quite a few around the fire but they are pretty distinct.

Ram on the right isn't a clue

Took me longer than it should to realise the thing the elephant was after was another clue. but I can't think of anything particularly hidden

Thumb on the chair

Are you sure it isn't glaringly obvious?

the bloomin postcard

It is a trickier one, do you know who he is on holiday with?

the green egg

doesn't look good, does it?

A reminder that the ‘give clue’ button is actually a link to just giving for NHS charity. And you can donate whether you want or need a clue or not.
If enjoyed the quiz or are just glad the torment is over, donate away. I fell into the latter category I think but worth a donation anyway!

I’m stuck on 60/62.

The painting of a “banquet” with eyes. No idea at all.

Another one somewhere but I don’t know what to look for now. I’ve got everything that’s been mentioned, I think.

The postcard and the apples / pills only became apparent when I used the high res image.

Don’t thank me, I only only reposted it, Cougar and A.N. Other posted it back on page or something.

Still looking for a piece of hay in a hay stack. It won’t even give me a clue because I’m so close the game doesn’t want to spoil it for me.

If people are not sure what is and what isn't a clue, the original image before the clues are added is linked to on page 2 or 3 I think.

I think you attached it to the handle of something nickjb

The book n gavel suddenly came to me at 4 this morning, must say starting to get fed up with it now stuck @ 60/62

Tried all sorts of variations of what I think the thumb with a plaster on it is but not getting it and then I need to locate the final thing whatever that is.

Thank you! That’s so obvious now. I’m finished. Nickjb’s clue didn’t help at all 🤣

The thumb you’re probably on the right line, I can’t actually remember what I typed now but it wasn’t the obvious variation. First word was something odd I think.
