Welcome, all forumheads, to the Christmas Challenge 2023. Here are five rounds of puzzles for you to solve. This year's Challenge is a bit different to usual - it doesn't have an ELO theme, and it's a mix of emoji quizzes and cryptic crossword style clues. One point per correct answer, a maximum of 30 points available. Send me your answers via Secret Message by December 20th. Then I'll count up everyone's score, announce the winner, and Horace will award gold, silver and bronze medals to the winner, runner-up and second runner-up. Good luck, everyone. ROUND 1 - FILMS ABOUT MUSIC OR MUSICIANS. Can you identify the films from these emojis? ROUND 2 - CLASSIC ALBUMS. Can you identify the classic rock/pop albums from these emojis? ROUND 3 - UK No. 1 Hits. Can you work out the titles of these songs that reached No. 1 in the UK charts? ROUND 4 - Films nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. ROUND 5 - Lead Singers of Bands That's it for the 2023 Challenge, forumheads. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure I have a little more than half of them. The UK number one hits completely stumped me,though.

I've figured out a few, as well. UK #1 hits also mystify me, but there are other gaps, too... A worthy challenge for us, vlogdance!

I've decided to cheat and give my mother the cryptic crossword type clues as it's right up her street. Although she did moan and say it was much harder without an actual crossword to help put the letters in right. Honestly, what a lightweight!

Number 26 truly has me stumped. I showed it to a friend of mine, and they replied " Was FranceDeath TenRed HearKit ever the lead singer of a band?" haha.
I'll keep on trying to decipher it.

Ah, come to think of it, old FranceDeath and his band never made it big in the States... Just joking, Chippa. Keep trying!

The challenge is too challenging! I'm sitting back and dreaming about a 2 LP version of Time.
