    I have a feeling it has something to do with scenes in space? YOLT’s PTS, the capsule eating Jupiter 16, the diamond satellite in DAF (lol) and the space sequences in MR... that’s all I have for now but maybe it helps someone else connect the dots.
    Maybe MR is OOO because Bond actually goes to space?

    No, no space there. And sorry for the misleading clue yesterday!

    You once said that I was close. This means that one of the PTS should be involved (DAF or YOLT).
    Scalpels are involved in DAF and YOLT but I can't remember one in MR. Not that...

    Blofeld dies in the mud, Helga in the piranha pond. Bond falls in the water, too, but he survives the snake attack. Hence, MR is the ooo?

    No, no animals there, and no scalpels.

    All movies feature a person buried alive:
    YOLT - Bond’s burial at sea.
    DAF - Bond put inside a coffin by Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd.
    MR is OOO because the person in the coffin is an assassin.

    Congratulations! 👍I think I can declare you the winner. All three feature an alive person in a closed coffin (EDIT: I should have chosen YOLT as OOO because there it's a closed sea burial body bag); MR OOO because the person is dead soon after. Your turn.

    Thanks 😊
    TBH I was pretty sure this was the right answer. Good round, buddy 👍

    TB
    TMWTGG
    LTK

    There are 2 variations of the answer I will accept for this round.

    All three feature a seaplane; OOO perhaps LTK because there's a water ski stunt, too

    Sorry, no seaplanes, yachts or any other modes of transportation involved.

    Good one. I didn't remember that Bond was in a coffin before they dropped him in the sea.

    Bond is in the pool with all his clothes in TB and LTK. TMWTGG is the ooo: Bond is next to the pool but not inside. Alternatively it is the ooo because the woman in the pool is naked while she is in a bath suit in the other two.

    Nope! The answer has nothing to do with technical details such as items of clothing or vehicles, but rather the characters themselves.

    It wasn’t actually a coffin, he was put in a big water proof plastic bag which was then sealed, mummy style.

    Yes, sorry, I should have chosen YOLT as OOO because of the closed sea burial body bag; I've edited it now in my post.

    No worries. It's fine anyway.

    TB - Bond goes on board the motorboat with Domino and leaves Paula behind
    TMWTGG - Bond drops Goodnight for Miss Anders
    LTK - Bond goes with Lupe and leaves Pam in the casino hall
    OOO LTK because he later leaves Lupe for Pam?

    Nope!
    But the answer does involve some of the women you mentioned.

    TB Bond encounters Domino in the water
    TMWTGG Bond encounters Anders in a shower
    LTK Bond encounters Pam near the water

    LTK is OOO has he meets the woman near water not in it.

    Bond sleeps with the main villain s girlfriend in all three but only Andrea is killed. Therefore, TMWTGG is the ooo.
    Alternatively, TB could be the ooo, because only Domino is the villain's girlfriend and the main Bondgirl at the same time.

    You got it! There were 2 possible answers:
    1. TMWTGG is OOO because Andrea is the only villain's mistress who gets punished by death for her infidelity.
    2. LTK is OOO because Lupe is the only one who gets punished for sleeping with someone other than Bond.

    Over to you

    Okay, here is the next one.
    FRWL
    LALD
    AVTAK

    Each movie has a Bond contact assassinated.
    FRWL - Nash is killed by Grant.
    LALD - Strutter is killed by the Dixie funeral assassin.
    AVTAK - Aubergine is killed by May Day.

    AVTAK is OOO since the two other murders happen off-screen and without Bond present.

    In all three films a feast is violently interrupted. (gypsy, boat chase, Paris)
    FRWL OOO because it's not a wedding feast?

    AVTAK is OOO has Bond appears in the PTS and in the others he isn't.

    Interesting idea with the elevator basket. I can't remember that in GE?
    By the way, I had forgotten to answer the question. Trevelyan uses a kind of basket elevator to chase Bond to the antennae.

    But all 3 got to have something in common.

    It was like a basket-gondola I think.

    No right answer yet.

    That was a very cool parallel you came up with!

    In all 3 films Bond is attacked by a helicopter.
    LALD is OOO because the helicopter is not destroyed by Bond.
    AVTAK - Bond is alone when attacked by the helicopter/only appears in PTS.
