After a false start, here is the rela 2021 Ifour picture quiz

https://quiz.ifour.co.uk/

Harder than previous years I think.

I've got to 45 and have gone through the usual scenarios:

right answers but to a different clue
repeatedly typing wrong answers thinking the website is broken and not me
Answers correct i wasn't even aware was a city
Seeing some clues but no idea why they're clues
can't even see some clues
think some things are clues but probably aren't

Enjoy.
If you're going to help others in the comments below, please make sure the clues are cryptic. more obscure the better. Don't want ot make it too easy

Aside,

It's not obvious but the forum does support spoiler tags. Substitute 'fish' for 'spoiler' here:
[fish] secret text [/fish]

Spoiler
Just like this

Spoiler
you can even put them in CODE blocks, who knew?

At 40 and in similar position to op. If it helps anyone the answers do appear to include some fictional cities.

And that's how code obfuscation works 😉

I did wonder that as there are a few film references but the selection I tried didn't work so I moved on. Is it definitely the case?

I got to 40 reasonably quickly but I've heavily slowed for the last 10 or so.

Scraped my way to 57 (on a long, dull conference call...). I can see 6 or 7 more clues. Where the rest are I have no idea.

Certainly the green stone on the bench at the bottom left is fictional.

I'm taking a break on 65. There's at least 7 or so things I'm missing that are obvious clues, but I can't get them. I've no idea where the last few could be beyond those.

so why don’t

I've not tried, but should that be Foo City rather than just Foo perhaps?

Both are real cities. One is not very well known but is a say-what-you-see

Once you've got that bit the rest should be easy. Pretty well known city

I've just got one that requires an insane knowledge of

Spoiler
post-impressionist artists
to get on sight. Or just some extremely good luck as in my case. There's no way I'm getting the last few if they're all like that!

Disappointed the anchor isn't Ankara.

but it doesn't like it.

Not aware of any fictional cities from comics. The two super hero ones I've got are both real cities

Also on the bench bottom left I’m sure I know as being

Sounds right. Works for me

Yep. I found that. The Neptune/Poseidon figure doesn't show at all on my pc. It's really clear on the phone.

11 other clues, all of which i’m stuck on:

Spoiler

otter - not many cities with otter in them
rubbish collectors ???
cow & balloon (although already used the cow at end of another clue) - just bits of the words
horse grave ???
toilet ???
denim jacket (no matter how much i think its a city in France, it’s not!) ???
batman - you are remarkably close. You've probably never heard of it.
spring / parasol - what colour is it (not well known city)
cowboy hat - where are they popular (on TV in the 80s)
light bulb - how is one different (in two ways)
red horse ???

This is one of the ones I got by accident.

Spoiler
I didn't know where the Petronas towers were.

Even knowing the answer I'm not sure it makes any sense.

Nearly there (75), but I have questions:

1)
What even is that on the left? Some kind of food? Looks like tartiflette but I don't think it is? I can't really get started. Is that part of the spring one or are they separate?

2) The guy in the bathtub, front and centre. I'm just staring at him, wondering wtf he's doing or representing. Tell me there's a clue attached and he's not just trolling me!

3)
Are these dots a clue? They seem very subtle but at the same time, I can't work out how they would relate to the image behind which makes me think they're a clue?

4) There's an image of a cat in the top left. Reverse image search says it's just an Adobe stock image you can download as is. Anyone got that?
