A challenge to all you Movie Buffs
« on: May 10, 2006, 06:37:27 pm »
It’s an Excel spreadsheet.  The game is pretty self explanatory.  There are images from movies, but the character’s faces have been removed (nicely done if you ask me).  Enter your guess of movie title in the first text box and hit “Enter”, the spreadsheet will tell you if your answer is right or wrong.  Some are very obvious, some are not.

Worked with a friend, we got 54 of out 60.  I am sure with the collective geniuses we have here, we will conquer this quiz in no time.  You can use this thread to post your scores, discuss your guesses, or ask for hints.

Go here to download the file “FilmTitleQuiz.xls” (649KB) 
http://www.badongo.com/file/631265
Just click the “Click here to download” button on the top portion of the page (You may need to wait for 30 seconds before the botton appear).  You don’t need to sign up to download the file.

If you have difficulties downloading the file, PM me your e-mail address, I will send it to you via e-mail.

Have fun and don’t cheat (the file is protected so it’s pretty hard to cheat)!

Attached is a screenshot of what the quiz looks like.

p.s. If you figure out the answer to 4, 5, 15, 23, 39, 59, or 60.  Please PM me with a hint  :).

Updates:
With chefjudy's help, no. 15 is solved.
With sparkle's help no. 4 is solved.

I scored twenty-one out of a possible sixty. These were the numbers to which I responded correctly: 2, 3, 8, 13, 20, 21, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 35, 38, 40, 42, 43, 46, 47, 48, 55, 58.

Interesting little game. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jenny.

Cheers,
Scott

With the short time you spent on the game, I have to say that you did very well!  Keep working.

With chefjudy's help, no. 15 is solved. :)

I got 46 out of 60.
Will someone be a dear and pm me the answers to:
5, 10, 12, 15, 31, 39, 59 and 60?
...then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get.

Excellent Sparkle !  I am impressed :).  Well, without my friend, I won't even get 1/3 of them.  I will PM you the one I know in your list, which is not that many :)

bump for people to find tomorrow.

Come on, you can do it!  Test your movie IQ, and we still have a few that we don't have an answer yet.

Hey, for the people who took the quiz, how did you do?  Have you figured out 5, 39, 59, and 60?  I am quite sure that I did not see these movies, but would like to know the answer anyhow.

If you have not had the chance to do the Film Title Quiz, you should try it.  It's fun.

I googled and the quiz is only in Excel format :(.

Looks like all the quiz is from this site:
http://www.filmwise.com/invisibles/index.shtml
The only thing is that you can not check your answer right way (which is what the excel file offers) for the current week's quiz.  But there are plenty in past that will keep you busy for a while.
