    If it's to do with coins I suppose perhaps the coins in FRWL and EON might have the Queen's head (no idea if that's true), while the coin that Bond flips at the beginning of OHiMSS is a new one with the King's head? So the last one's the odd one out.

    They”ve all saved bonds life. Maybe. I’ve already forgotten the details on most of them — I remember the coin being a bit of a lucky charm throughout the book, and pretty sure the sovereigns were a Chekhov’s bond gadget.

    Actually. Maybe I just expected the coin to save his life and it didn’t…
    Maybe they’re all unused Chekhov’s guns.

    It's not about what detail is on the coins, or if it saves his life. Although I like that last idea.

    Any other guesses folks? It's about coins. Which one is different?

    Those who've read the newest novella and played the videogame will likely get the answer correct.

    You don't even need to read the novel at this point (or have played the game). Simply read through all the comments for this round, watch the EON cutscenes in the video on YouTube and the answer will reveal itself.

    Final bit of help on this one.

    1) watch the Youtube video 'All Cinematic Cutscenes in 007 - Everything or Nothing'
    2) read through all the comments for this round and the connection will fall in place

    That's the bare minimum effort you have to put in... I'm not going to drop the answer in your lap!

    I watched the majority of the EoN cutscenes but it didn't click for me. No coins detected...

    Any clues @QBranch or are there any other guesses? Been quiet since August 26th

    Nothing more I can add now, but to repeat: follow the two steps above.

    Or in the meantime, ponder the odd one out among these four Bond films:

    YOLT
    LALD
    TMWTGG
    LTK

    Okay so we have two on the go now!

    @QBranch sorry for not having a guess on yours.


    @ProfJoeButcher I shall guess that LALD is OOO has Bond doesn't disguise or use a cover in that film.

    YOLT Fisher from Chemical company
    TMWTGG Scaramanga with the third nipple
    LTK a person from Universal Exports looking for some marine life!

    I really like to jump on this game, if not for..... @QBranch :(

    A half hour Bond-related video shouldn't be a chore to get through.

    Maybe @007HallY would like to have a go at watching the video, since they've read the book.

    Nice guess, but it has to do with Bond girls.

    Is it that the sovereigns are the only one not to be used as a weapon?

    That's not it, but I appreciate the input.

    I think if it is the coins then there are lots of potential differences between them. Number of them, given by Q, value, material, currency etc.

    Yep, I've ruled out value, material, shape, colour etc. It's all in the clues. It's not about how many are seen, or if they're given by Q. Follow the two steps above and you'll get it.

    Shape, yes, but not the others.
    I watched the cut scenes (well, skimmed them: it's nearly 40mins long!) and I haven't a clue. He doesn't throw the sovs?

    Hmm, I thought I ruled those out, it's like one of my posts disappeared. Anyway, you are very close with him throwing the coin. Can you elaborate on this?

    He throws it at the floor? In the UK? Sorry, I don't know what you're looking for.

    No! The direction the coin leaves his hand is important.

    North?

    All four films have a female character die with her eyes open.
    YOLT - Aki
    LALD - Rosie
    TMWTGG - Andrea
    LTK - Della OOO as not romantically involved with Bond.

    Interesting, and a step toward the answer (death is relevant), but that's not it.

    Let’s try this.
    Helga, Rosie, Andrea and Della are all killed by a villain.
    All women are killed offscreen and are later found by Bond, except from Helga whose execution happens onscreen and does not feature Bond.

    Andrea is sitting dead, while the rest are lying down.

    Rosie was killed onscreen too via that scarecrow with a hidden gun.

    All of them are (intentionally) killed because of Bond:

    Andrea - Killed because of her alliance with Bond
    Rosie - Killed because of her changing sides with Bond
    Aki - killed because she saved Bond's life
    Della is the OOO because it's Bond who became involved with her death.

    Idk 😅.

    It's to do with the main girls, and not anyone like Della. But R1s1ngs0n, your idea is better than my answer!

    (I'm actually worried that it's been done already...)
