I said no director names or actors... just numbers and letters...

EDIT PLIZ...and make it snappy😉

All good... thanks...

Doing it that way would totally kill the vibe of the sweepstakes. Everyone would just Google the directors using those codes and find them in a heartbeat. This way, people actually have to do their own digging...

feralnomad58 said:I think you missed giving me that +1 point for speed on question number 6

You're right. Fixed it.👍

My bad.

Let's keep this moving...👍

ROUND 3

The rules haven't changed since the last few days...

QUESTION NO. 10.

The cast from The Expendables have worked with all kinds of directors over the years, from big names to guys you might not recognize. In the images below, you'll see some members of The Expendables crew paired with the directors they've worked with. Your job is to match the actor to the director—basically, link the bullet to the letter—and then list which movie they actually made together.

for example:

A-1 Hard Target
B-3 Bloodsport

and so on.

To keep things simple and avoid confusion, each actor listed here has only worked with one specific director shown in the pictures. I intentionally left the directors' names out so I wouldn't make it too easy for you, so strictly speaking, mentioning a director's name if you recognize them is banned. Everyone's playing for themselves here, so think for yourself.

If you nail all 8 pairs, you get 3 points. Get 5 right, and you get 2 points. Hit 3, and you get 1 point. Anything less than that puts you at -1. Mentioning a movie title earns you a bonus point.

Let's Play👍

Alright, round two is over, and it looks like luck was definitely on your side this time, haha. 😁 Whatever, it’s all part of the game. Two days down, two more to go... anything can happen.
First, here are the confirmed answers from round two, then we move straight into the new third round.

QUESTION NO. 5.

We were all kids once, just like these legendary action heroes. Can you guess which heavy hitters are in the pictures below?

Just list the number and the actor's name for whoever you think is under that number. Getting all 7 right gets you 3 points, 4 (or more) gets you 2 points, 2 or 3 gets you 1 point, and anything less than that is a -1 penalty subtracted from yesterday's total.

NOTE - the actors listed below aren't just members of The Expendables crew.

ANSWER:
1 Chuck Norris
2 Jason Statham
3 Vin Diesel
4 Bruce Willis
5 Jean-Claude van Damme
6 Arnold Schwarzenegger
7 Dolph Lundgren

QUESTION NO. 6.

Which action titles are hidden behind these anagrams?

a. A Law Red
b. A Clarinet Shoot
c. A Esthetics Lip
d. Damn Salting Ants
e. Bat Closets Youth
f. Ed Hi Twinkly Slow On Toot

Getting all 6 right earns 3 points, 3 correct gives you 2 points, and anything less than that is 1 point. And if you mess up every single one—just like everyone else has done so far—you lose a point.

ANSWER:
a. A Law Red - Raw Deal
b. A Clarinet Shoot - Last Action Hero
c. A Esthetics Lip - The Specialist
d. Damn Salting Ants - Last Man Standing
e. Bat Closets Youth - The Last Boy Scout
f. Ed Hi Twinkly Slow On Toot - Showdown in Little Tokyo

QUESTION NO. 7.

How many differences can you spot in the image below? It is extremely important that you do NOT mark, describe, or mention them in any way! Just find them, count them up, and write the number. Tomorrow, I'll confirm how many there actually are and show where they're hiding.

ANSWER: 10



QUESTION NO. 8.

In the image below, three different scenes from three different action movies have somehow been mashed together. My question is: which movies are they? Getting all three right earns 3 points, two correct earns 2 points, and one correct earns 1 point.

ANSWER:
1. Tango & Cash
2. Universal Soldier
3. Damagee



QUESTION NO. 9.

Which action star, who also happens to be part of The Expendables, is in this picture, and what movie is it from?

A full answer gets you 3 points, while a half answer (only answering one of the two parts) gets you 1.5 points.

ANSWER: Gary Daniels - Cold Harvest



The standings are a mess and everyone’s points are all over the place. Some people seemingly gave up right after round one because they didn't score enough early on, even though there's plenty of time to turn things around in the coming rounds. Others missed questions during round two—hopefully by accident—and basically threw away easy points. Anyway, here’s how the leaderboard looks after round two...

Contestant P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9

dr mladjo 4 -1 2 1.5 / 6.5 2 * 3 * * / 5 = 11.5
Paskaneman 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
evil bastard 3 3 3 4 / 13 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 28
red F 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 21
Han Solo 3 * * * / 3 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 18
Deckard 3 -1 3 3 / 8 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 22
Wild Horses 3 * * * / 3 1 * * * * / 1 = 4
fadedseal8 3 -1 * 3 / 5 3 3 -1 3 3 / 11 = 16
macondo 3 3 3 3 / 12 2 3 -1 3 3 / 10 = 22

kiki_zg 3 -1 2 3 / 7 3 3 -1 2 3 / 10 = 17
~~~RI~~~ 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 3 3 3 3 / 14 = 21
feralnomad58 3 -1 2 3 / 7 2 4 3 3 3 / 15 = 22
Falco SM 3 3 * * / 6 1 3 3 * * / 7 = 13
Ono 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
TheColossus 3 3 3 3 / 12 3 3 3 2 3 / 14 = 26
593 3 -1 * 3 / 5 3 3 * * * / 6 = 11
WHUFC 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23
Kimi#1 3 -1 2 * / 4 * * * * * / * = 4
Jacob J.Harper * -1 * 1.5 / 0.5 2 3 * * * / 5 = 5.5

Christian Williams61 3 -1 3 3 / 8 3 3 3 3 3 / 15 = 23

Leading the pack is still evil bastard with 28 points, followed closely by TheColossus at 26 points. Currently, we have a tie for third place between Paskaneman, Ono, WHUFC, and Christian Williams61, all sitting at 23 points. We'll see what today brings and if the board shifts tomorrow.

Alright, last one for today...

QUESTION NO. 9

Which action star from The Expendables cast is in this photo, and what movie is it from?

A full answer gets you 3 points. If you only get one part right, that's 1.5 points.



Just a reminder: if you nail all of today's questions by midnight, you get full credit. Anything submitted after midnight doesn't count.
Good luck.👍

gentlebadger88 said:Look, this whole thing is just a massive mess because they crammed two different questions under a single number. I ended up writing my breakdown under number 6 when it really should have been number 7, which means number 7 should be 8, and so on... everything is just thrown out of whack.

Fixed numbers 7 and 8... unfortunately, I can't change that double number 5 back to color 6.

My bad, everyone.🙂

rustyscout34 said:Found this pretty easily 10 differences in the attached photos (I'll upload them tomorrow). 😉

(that's my final answer 🙂)

I'm gonna do it myself and then tell you if you're right or not👍

Time for a new question....

QUESTION NO. 5
Which action movie titles are hidden behind these anagrams?


Correction—I previously left off the 's' at the end of Damn Salting Ants. My apologies to everyone.

So, does this count as the same question? ... I need to fix my answers because I accidentally labeled the fifth one as the sixth, which throws my whole numbering off...😁

Man... looks like I totally screwed that up without even realizing it.😲😲

The anagram stuff is actually part of question 6—that's a separate thing entirely.

Richard Carter59 said:I think you have two questions under five, if I haven't miscounted... 🙂

Nah... there’s just one question under number 5—which action movie titles are hidden behind these anagrams?😉

rustyscout34 said:Well, you lose a little bit of detail, but I guess that's just due to cropping. 🤷

It’s not just "a little"... you lose quite a lot. I checked everything before committing, which is why I went with this option.👍

Like I said, I gotta rush through these challenges today, so here's a new one. Another one's coming soon, so stay ready...👍

QUESTION NO. 8.

In the image below, three different shots from three separate action movies have somehow been mashed together (😁). My question is: which movies am I looking at? Getting all three right earns you 3 points, two correct answers gets you 2 points, and just one right gets you 1 point.

David Price5 said:I believe points for anagram puzzles should only go to the person who first submits the correct answer. However, we could certainly host the guessing games regarding differences and actor identification right here.

Things aren't gonna change much... though I probably won't be dropping any more anagrams. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother today, but things were just too hectic at work to prep anything else.

rustyscout34 said:Anthony Smith3, you're a joker. 🙂

Here's the combined photo (to make things easier) - click

It’s not about being lazy... it's just that every time I've uploaded both images merged together, the quality drops. That kills any chance for players to actually spot the differences clearly. I don't need people coming after me because they couldn't find a detail due to some pixelated mess.👍

Anyway, thanks for the effort...

fadedseal8 said:Oops, my mistake. I meant task 5. Since editing is disabled, I'll just correct myself here: 🙂

It's all good... I get what you mean now.👍

Alright... you asked for it... here you go.😁

Same deal as before...

QUESTION NO. 7.

How many differences can you spot in the image below? It is strictly forbidden to mark, describe, or mention them in any way! Just find them, add them up, and drop the total number. Tomorrow, I'll confirm how many there actually are and show you where they're hidden.



Don't be that person saying "I found one error right here" or anything like that. If you spoil it for others, points will be docked!

feralorca82 said:A bit late for that now. It should have been handled that way from the jump. Just finish this one up following the rules you set.
If you decide to run another sweepstakes !!!! later, maybe put in a little more effort and plan it better next time. 😉
Either way, it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. Besides, the fastest and most accurate person gets the extra points anyway.👍

I'm telling you... I whipped this up on Sunday night, and I usually just come up with these tasks on the fly...

I didn't want to go the route of asking questions like how many times Li and Statham worked together before The Expendables or whatever, because you can find that stuff on IMDb in two seconds. So I figured I'd try something with pictures instead.

I'll be dropping another 2 or 3 challenges soon since I'm hopping off early today, so... whoever guesses right by midnight, wins.

Alright... if you keep throwing tasks like this at me, I'll just send my answers via DM, but I'll make sure to call that out in the post.

gentlebadger88 said:Nice work. I managed to nail , but you totally outdid yourself with the rest. Honestly, there’s no point in even trying to tackle this challenge anymore... everyone’s just going to end up copying your answers anyway.

Whatever... it's all just part of the game. Even in the first round, it looked like everyone was nailing every answer, but look at us now—only three people actually leading the pack.

rustyscout34 said:Yeah, maybe just come up with some better challenges, like that spot the differences one. 🙂

More of that's coming today... definitely.

Just trying to cook up something interesting and a little different... we'll see if I can actually pull it off.👍

rustyscout34 said:Dragon El shouldn't be in the movie lists? 🤔

okay, I see you fixed it. 🙂

a. movie list
b. movie list
c. movie list
d. movie list
e. movie list
f. movie list

🙂

Already fixed it.👍 My bad... slipped up on a little detail there...

David Price5 said:Do we need to use every single letter?

Look, if you don't use all the letters, you aren't getting the actual titles.

feralnomad58 said:I definitely know one for sure. Should I just write it down now and then add more via edits if I think of something else later, or should I just put everything up at once?

Everything at once... because then everyone could just go back and edit their replies, and I’m not about to admit to that. You know what you know, and you don't—nobody knows anything.
