Congratulations, Taio!  You did a wonderful job!  [smiley=bowdown.gif]

Although I didn't do very well, I still had a good time trying.  Thanks for the challenge, SE!  BTW, I thought my guesses were very creative.  :-*

Technospike,
That's a diagram of the ear.  The inner ear is sometimes called the labyrinth.  All my audiology courses paid off on that one, but my trivia knowledge regarding superhero comics, young actors, animated characters, and rock albums just wasn't up to snuff.  The math one I would never have gotten, and I was thinking of K in the last one as kilobytes, not Kelvin.  I did figure out that the words in number 2 meant "guest" but just didn't think to check yet another language.

pollodiablo is quoting the page of wikipedia where you can find the picture I used: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_(inner_ear)

Lady Kestrel, your guesses were very creative, too much creative, crazier than Escher drawings, wilder than Jodorowsky movies, inspired by LSD  
(and I had a great time reading them)
Young actors? If you mean the ones in 22, they are not famous, the trick was counting up to 7, you know how to count, don't you?  


"Bad mojo", "the longest journey", D and Gast were meant to be difficult, there has to be some difficult ones.
BTW Andromus, pollodiablo and Gelert are getting close to the solution of 23....

An excellent trivia SE. Congratulations to Taio.
The number 15 picture shouldve been turned upside down to make more sense.

You mean the "Sinking Island" guess for number 4? hehe well it kinda looks like an island, and there are people that look like praying... a wild guess anyway


Can someone explain why 20 is "riddle of the sphinx"?

PD: I still think 9 is Blue Ice.

The tarot of the devil is under the sun tarot (one card on top of the other), there's no need to turn the picture upside down.
Actually I also received mysterious island and monkey island

This is Blue ice:

 Hmmm, is 23. The Crimson Crown, by Penguin Software/Polarware?

 If so, I'd have got it sooner had I not been transfixed on the conundrum as to why it was hinted as a silver coin when I thought it was a sovereign, which is gold.

I have an X-men book, and one of the comics has Mojo as the main character. But apart of that book, I never read comics.  


Some creative guesses I made...  


6- Silent Hill 2: Inner Fears

9- Sinking Island

17- Barrow Hill

I like your Inner Fears guess, Taio.  My first guess for #9 was Sinking Island, too.  I wasn't sure if Maupiti was a real island until I did a search for it.  

For #14, I guessed Point of View because she was looking up as opposed to down or straight ahead.  
Later, even with the hint, I couldn't find her.)  For #22, I just didn't think of Guest as a last name.  I thought the lineup might have been less famous people who had been knighted, and since the one circled looked rich, I guessed The Dame Was Loaded.  I also thought Mojo might be The Beast Within, since he was coming out the door, or Ripper, because of those claws.

Correct, in this page you can find the original coin: www.coinsgb.com/Edward_VII/98-Crown.html

I still don't understand the connection between 17 and Barrow Hill  :-? Was it something in the game?

You may post another picture-puzzle in this thread if you want. You can use Google to search specifically for images if you can't draw (like me).
Let's see if someone can produce a puzzle even more devious

Since I had to post a screenshot in the other thread, I'll take the opportunity and post one of the discarded puzzles
