That’s so sweet of you that I had to exercise an additional hour to burn off those excess calories :D

Puzzle 54:

What connects these four images?

They have all been films.

Technically, that dinosaur (is it a bronto? The shape suggests a brachiosaurus, though the pointy head is not very pronounced) is was actually a herbivore—not a vegetarian.

They all have a black border.

Smartarse answer here is they all connected in someway

Spock was a vegetarian? Damn that required a lot of background knowledge

Well done, vegetarianism was the connect and I see your point with the brachiosaurus but meh :P

I didn’t actually know Spock was a vegetarian, googled it because I knew the other two were. I suppose if you didn’t know that at least two were vegetarian you might have trouble.

Puzzle 55:

Complete both these brainteasers for one point.

1) Place the words ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN and EIGHT into a 5×5 grid of letters. The words must be in a straight line, but can be in any direction, including diagonally.

2) Hidden below are eight, 7 letter words. Each word begins with the central S and you can move one letter in any direction to the next letter. All of the letters are used exactly once each. What are the words?

Just the one:

Thanks for giving us a chance at half a point Lou :p
This was a bit too easy though, took like 30 seconds :/

Words are: Seaweed, Sausage, Spanner, Speaker, Syringe, Snorkle, Sixteen, Shampoo

I feel like the answer to the first puzzle has to use all 25 squares.

You two are both correct.

Puzzle 56:

What comes fourth in the sequence, taking the place of the question mark?

Right lung, Brain, Liver, ?

Kidney

Nope.

Duodenum.

The pattern is the order of body parts of a lemur that are yummy, the yummiest being first.

No, the correct answer is scrotum. They are all organs of an agouti (large, smelly South American rodent) that Bear Grylls has been forced to eat in order to survive.

Skin. Largest organs of the body in increasing order.

Puzzle 57:

If John = Jim, Mindy = Kelly and Ed = Andy, what does Michael equal?
