Here's a question: a word with five sounds, starting with the letter U in its initial form (nominative case, singular).
I don't know the answer))) It's a question from a Russian language Olympiad for 7th graders))))

There's a possible answer: "Unkulunkulu," but I don't think it's a word that 7th graders would know.

Teri, could there be 5 letters "o" in it? Wikipedia claims that there are no such words in the nominative case. In the dative case, something like "to the corn harvester." P.S. I watched parts of "House" and "The Clinic," but "Avatar" and "Balloons" evoke some associations with the Oscars. The picture with the black people, for example, is like "Inglourious Basterds."

And who was talking about letters? Sounds! That is, a word where there can be 2 letters u and 3 letters yu, for example, because yu in sounds is y and u.

In general, the answer is already being considered by more than a dozen people. I became curious myself and started looking, and decided to puzzle you.

Besides Unkulunkulu, there were also options like "corn harvester," "Southern Ukrainian Coal Restructuring."

So, Wikipedia is wrong.

A puzzle about sequences, a simpler one :) The answer is a single word, the name of an animal:

A smile (kindness, harmlessness), thoughtfulness, bravery, grandeur, surprise (or perhaps listening intently), confidence (I have no idea who this is, so I'll add intelligence as well). Something like that.
Maybe it's an elephant?

And is the person in the last picture even alive? Maybe it's an extinct species of some animal? Mammoths/Dragons...)

The hero gets a failing grade. Regarding your latest creation: decipher the people depicted there, it might make things easier, right Vic?

Looks like numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 are alive.
Numbers 6 and probably 4 are not.
Not sure how this helps.

In the first picture, it's probably Bezrukov.
In pictures 2 and 3, the actors resemble those who starred in Star Wars (Anakin and Dooku).
4 - red and green costume (Duke Visconti?).
5. Comrade Sukhov, I forgot the actor's last name.
6. Voroshilov?

question: does it matter who is depicted in the photo/pictures? :)

Maybe a horse?
Bezrukov rode a mare in "Brigada."
Knight-Jedi. The word "knight" implies the word "horse."
A guy in medieval attire. He definitely wouldn't walk around; he probably rode a horse.
And Voroshilov – in the "What? Where? When?" show, a spinning top with a horse on it was used. :)

Yes, and Comrade Sukhov rode a horse.

The correct answer has already been given; all that remains is to decipher the associations.

It's not a horse, although that was a good suggestion.
