Was it the mission controller's mother-in-law?

I like your thinking

Sadly, however, it is not the correct answer

Seeing as it is over 24 hours... CLUE: It wasn't very nice

 

[DaleCooper]

It wasn't very nice

Was it just a little bit nice?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Was it just a little bit nice?

When it was created, yes I suppose it would be, but by the time it got up there it wasn't

What's the connection?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Is whoever that is one of the actors in one of those four costumes?

 

[DaleCooper]

Is whoever that is one of the actors in one of those four costumes?

What! You mean they're just actors in costumes?

Anyway she isn't one of them.

 

[ComUtoR]

I dont recognise (and neither do the kids !) who the furry animals are :/

Is the connection. "the beckhams"

She is an underrated actress. I hope she does't get eaten up by hollywood.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

It might help if I knew who the actress is in the first place; just don't recognise her at all!

Seriously...? Thats the Banana Splits

 

[ComUtoR]

Seriously...? Thats the Banana Splits

No wonder my kids didn't recognise them. I'm old but not that old

BTW the actress is Chloe Grace Moretz

Think I got it.

The Banana Splits theme tune is used in Kick Ass

Neither am I - but i still know them

Moretz's crowning role will always, always be Let Me In - playing the vampire Abby. An adaptation of the Swedish book and film "Let the Right One In". Have to admit I was in tears by the way she portrayed the little girl vampire

Never heard of her!

That's right, as the 11 year old Hit Girl she slaughters half a dozen members of a drugs gang to the backing of that rather jaunty song.

Another one involving numbers, what is next in this sequence?

2 5 5 4 5 6 4 7 ?

(You may find a pocket or desk calculator helpful)

 

[Springs Branch]

After blowing the dust off my calculator, entering the numbers & turning it upside down to see what word is spelled, it finally clicked .... (and it sort of depends how it forms your 7)

6 ?

6 ?

Correct, I did check a lot of calculator images and in every one the "7" was formed of 4 segments although there are occasions where 3 are used, I think this is on older, LED displays.

For the benefit of those whose don't know what we're talking about the sequence is the number of segments used to form the digits 1 to 9 in a 7 segment LCD display.

 

[ComUtoR]

What did it spell ?

I managed to get "Lhgshssz"

 

[Springs Branch]

I'll take it

In Star Trek, After the destruction of the original Enterprise at Genesis, there is the Enterprise NCC 1701-A, followed by B, C, D and E... Why is this unique?

I don't understand the question. What is unique here?
