Sorry for this random post, but i recently recieved an email that has made me crazy for several weeks, and I hope that someone may have also gotten it...
The subject is "namethosemovies2" and it is 60 different scenes from famous movies, however it only shows the background and the shapes of the characters bodies (all of their skin is taken out of the picture) the catch is that it is on a protected excel sheet and the only way to see the answer is to type the correct one in. I have managed to get 59 of 60. I cant get number 5, the one with the man in military attire standing in an office on a phone. I know that i have seen this movie, thats what makes it so annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for those that have no idea what I am talking about. This was a last resort ha.

Is there any way you can post the pic?

I'm pretty sure that the columns with the correct answers are hidden. I've seen these before and recall that I was able to open them to see the titles.

I believe that it is the last worksheet in the spreadsheet, if you're familiar with Excel. If they are indeed locked, I believe that another approach is to write a formula in an available cell which gets the value of the hidden cell. Again, it's fairly easy to do in Excel.

They're called "Invisibles". There is also a website on which you can play either daily or weekly, can't recall. They are also used in a game called "Scene It".

Good luck.

I don't have the second version of this game. I have the first one, which I checked and has no picture fitting this description.

PM me your email and we can trade games.

If your trivia sheet is anything like mine, there is a way to unlock and check the answers but it's a bit tedious.

Thanks for the input, I still have not figured it out though. I know excel pretty well and I have tried everything I know to see the answers in the sheet. Whoever wrote the game put a password protection on it so I am asked for a password to do anything other than type answers. Thanks anyway

if you enter a wrong answer, then select the cell that says "false" and find the cell number to which the formula refers. Then "find" that cell and you'll be given the answer.

Thats what I did for my game.
