| Number 20 ... Jimi Hendrix perhaps?
And that's all I'm attempting for now as I MUST do some work! |

| No. 20 is indeed Jimi! (audio clue - "Guitar Man" by Bread) I see that at least one of the other "audio" clues becomes a really dead give-away video clue under magnification - but hey, who cheats around here anyway? |

| Two of these are correct, Priscilla! Number Four: Audrey Hepburn (audio clue was "Bruxelles" by Jacques Brel) Number Five: Andy Murray (audio clue - "Tennis Elbow" by Sky Sailing - didn't know you were so well up on the indie scene, P! ) |

| Oh goodie!! more quizzing fun.
Number 11, I thought it was Bobby Kennedy at first, but going by the audio, I would guess Ringo Starr.
12 looks like Vladimir Putin. I don't know the song.
13 a young Quentin Tarantino.???? Some of the clues including no 13, there is no white play triangle for the audio. Not on my computer anyway. |

| Two correct from five guesses there, Trike (including your later Daniel Craig guess). Number 11: Ringo Starr (audio clue "Little Drummer Boy" by Boney M) Number 13: Quentin Tarantino (audio clue - Ezekiel 25:17 as recited by Samuel L. Jackson in the film Pulp Fiction) I think all the audio clues start with a helpful white arrow courtesy of their source, however if paused then you might need your reading glasses to see the link again to restart them. |

| No. The ones with the white triangles work OK after pausing, but the audios without the triangles, there's nothing there at all. |

| Nordmann, it's Bing ( Windows 7 ) and the ones that don't work are 1 to 7 inclusive, 13,14, 16, 21 and 23.
Don't worry about it. It's no big deal and I probably wouldn't get them anyway. |

| Bing is a search engine. Which browser are you using? Sounds like a frame size problem. Any feedback is welcome so I can learn what I need to run websites (and quizzes). |

| No. 12 - from the music clue, the father of the atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer? |

| No. 9 .... Enigma Variations, but the chap isn't Elgar (no moustache) so I'm thinking Bletchley Park code breakers ... and now I can see the likeness ... it's Alan Turing. |

| Audio Clue Twenty Four is Mercury from Holst's The Planets so I'm guessing it's Freddie. |

| No. 21 - No idea about the music but I knew I'd seen the picture before, and finally it came to me ... I'm pretty sure it's Charles Darwin. |

| Some incorrect, but several spot on: Number Twelve: Robert Oppenheimer (audio clue: "Atomic Bomb Blues" sung by Homer Harris) Number Nine: Alan Turing (audio clue: Nimrod from "Enigma Variations" by Elgar, played by Chicago Symphony Orchestra) Number Twenty Four: Freddie Mercury (audio clue: "Mercury" from "The Planets Suite" by Holst, played by The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra) Number Twenty One: Charles Darwin (audio clue: "Evolution" by trance music outfit Ram Trilogy) Trike - I think I fixed the code that was stopping playback on some of the audio clues with certain browser versions (according to the analytics on the site you were coming in from an Edge browser). Let me know if you still have probs. |

| Not Beatty, no.
I've changed the audio clues for numbers 1 and 7 as they were a little too misleading/vague.

| Looking at number 8 again, I'd guess Robbie Williams. |

| Master Williams is correct - the wannabee Bond himself (hence the clue from a film where everyone was Bond except Bond) Number Eight: Robbie Williams (Audio clue: "Casino Royale" - vocal by Mike Redway - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass) |

| I'm glad you got in there with Robbie Williams, Trike, ... I'd just about, but not quite, convinced myself it was Pierce Brosnan. Embarrassing failure averted.

| I'm really struggling with the others.
That number 1. Was it on a previous quiz, and I made exactly the same mistake? |

| I think the last time the clue was used it was actually Warren Beatty. Anyway, I've changed the music now to avoid confusion ... |

| Number 3 is doing my head in ... a girl, I'm assuming it is a little girl, ... but Jolly Roger/pirates?! And seemingly born in the latter half of the 19th century.
And I'm still smarting over No.7 ... with the shoes clue I was convinced it was Imelda Marcos, it (not so sure now if it's a boy or girl) even looks like her, well sort-of.

| Judging by the eyes.........No 7 Judi Dench? And No 15 Uma Thurman?
No 6 looks like Adolf Hitler but the clothes look like they could be from a later time. |

If we're assuming it's a girl then that means it's probably a boy. I'll guess at Sir Roger Casement (born 1864) which also might fit the style of dress. |

| Ah ... in that case is number 3 Ernest Hemmingway, who, if memory serves, was often dressed by his mother, as a girl? |

| I was going to say actor Robert Newton - i.e. Long John Silver in the 1950 film adaptation of Treasure Island. But he was only born in 1905. Then it dawned on me - it's the other Robert - it's Louis Stevenson himself (born 1850). |

| Number seven ... Elizabeth Taylor? Not sure about the shoes, but she certainly had a fondness for jewellery. |

| Number 2 ... Iron Man, so I'm guessing it's the actor Robert Downey.
Number 23 ... from all the clues in the song (Mexico, artist, self-portraits, broken bones, illness ...) I eventually, with admittedly a little wiki help, worked it out to likely be the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo ... and finally discovered that the music is actually called 'Song for Frida Kahlo'. So I'm just taking that at face value and saying it is her. |

| Yes - I reckoned the song's lyrics were a good clue for Frida and obscure enough that the title wouldn't jump into people's heads the moment they heard it. Both guesses are spot on! Number Two: Robert Downey Jr (audio clue - Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" performed by Metallica with guest singer Ozzie Osbourne) Number Twenty Three: Frida Kahlo (audio clue - "Song For Frida Kahlo" performed by Tinpan Orange) |

| Number one ... I can't think of many "pranksters", except maybe Russell Brand (that also fits well enough with the old audio clue of "You're so vain"). Is it him? |

| Has to have been one of the hardest ones - well done! (finding clues was no easy task either - there aren't too many songs about total prats!) Number One: Russell Brand (audio clue - "Original Prankster" performed by The Offspring) |

| Audio Clue Fifteen contains the lyric "run, girl, run" so I'll guess at Paula Radcliffe because she looks a bit like her. |
