    That’s where I was heading next too.

    I can make her fit for a lot of the clues. But not all.
    Similarly with most guesses, not all the clues fit.
    Tough round this one @pachazo

    These Richard clues are really throwing me. Trying to come up with a guess based on those.

    Sorry, it's not Octopussy. Eventually it will click for one of you.

    I'm watching TLD right now and it's paused right on his face! Serendipity :)

    No one has it yet. Please take a look at the new clues above. Will they be enough to clinch it for someone? Good luck.

    Not him or Mr. Big either, for clarity's sake.

    Those last clues are leading me to the Quantum member at Tosca who Bond takes the equipment from in the toilet in order to listen in on the meeting. Can fit quite a few clues into him.

    I'm sure you have it!

    yes, must be it.

    I agree, Max must have it. I've been following along but couldn't connect the dots. Admire you others who tried other names.

    Well, well, well, the bird has done it again! A hearty congratulations to @MaxTheParrot for correctly guessing the Quantum Member that gets assaulted by Bond in the bathroom from QoS!


    1) You can find me above the first five letters.
    2) Hobnobbing away.

    At the beginning of the scene they show the outside of the building. Above the letters A B C D E is a window in which we can see our character socializing with other guests.

    3) Excuse me, but I really must be going now.
    He leaves to go to the table.

    4) Although difficult to hear, I provide some information in order to gain access to something very rare and valuable.
    He says something to the hostess, presumably his name, which identifies him as a VIP.

    5) Bond is curious about me.
    He is watching from above.

    6) She must go down to retrieve it.
    The hostess reaches down to grab the bag.

    7) Special privileges were granted to me by the color purple.
    Quantum members get the bag with the purple straps.

    8) I take it none of you will be late.
    We hear a voice over the speakers urging the guests to take their seats as the show will be starting soon.

    9) Although my fate is technically unknown, it appears that M will be satisfied.

    We don't see any blood, so we can assume Bond didn't him. M had earlier asked him to stop killing all of the leads.

    10) I went into my little chickadee's room.
    There is a "WC" on the bathroom door, indicating that it is wheelchair accessible. Nic Nac, you had the W.C. Fields part right.

    11) I'm totally oblivious to the danger heading my way.
    Bond.

    12) Exit only. Access denied!

    Bond breaks off the handle to the door.

    13) Was my attendance even necessary?
    None of the other Quantum members seem to miss his presence.

    14) Bond doesn't show much consideration for my personal space.
    Follows him into the bathroom.

    15) Two ghosts?
    I was thinking Phantom of the Opera and a specter (SPECTRE), but perhaps we could also include Mr. White, aka The Pale King.

    16) Those words were not spoken by me.

    When Bond speaks up later using his earpiece.

    17) A hybrid of two Richards.
    18) Hey, Mr. Dean Anderson and Mr. Gere.

    This clue wasn't meant to be that difficult. He has always looked like a combination of Richard Gere and Richard Dean Anderson (in his later years) to me.

    19) I much preferred the other blonde.

    The blonde hostess over Bond!

    20) Mommy was very bad? More like Daddy.
    Madeleine's parents are here. In SP, White mentions that his wife left him long ago.

    21) I (most likely) say my name out loud, but there is no record of it anywhere.

    He probably says his name to the hostess, but it is inaudible and as such, he is an uncredited and unlisted character.

    22) This situation turned out much differently than it did in the previous film.

    This guy was no match for Bond unlike Fisher in the bathroom fight in CR.

    23) Was Bond upset that I'm not handicapped?

    Using the handicapped restroom.

    24) Something important was taken from me.

    The earpiece.

    25) Champagne? Don't mind if I do.
    26) Everyone is dressed so nicely.

    We see him drinking champagne with other guests. It's the opera so everyone is dressed appropriately.

    27) In a future Bond film, two of the characters here will meet in this same country, albeit in a different location.
    Bond meets Mr. White in his Austrian hideout in SP.

    28) I'd have no way of knowing those are not Bond's clothes.
    And the clincher : Bond stole someone else's tux.


    I was running out of clues so I knew the endgame was near!

    Max, you continue to impress with your knowledge and resourcefulness. You truly are one of the elite players in the history of this game and those are not words I just throw around lightly. I pass it over to you.

    Great show.
    Comment to hint #10. WC means the same as toilet and doesn't indicate wheelchair in Switzerland/Austria...but it was of course a restroom for handicapped people in this scene.
    And do you believe that the woman at White's side is his wife and Madeleine's mother? I don't think so...but intersting thought anyway.

    Thank you for the clarification regarding the WC. As for the woman with White, has anyone ever compared the photos in SP to this actress in QoS? I guess I always assumed it was his wife, but perhaps you're right.

    I never did compare them but someone should do it immediately
    ;)
    That would be great Bond trivia.
  • edited March 2020 Posts: 1,469
    Internet sites say she's Mr. White's girlfriend. Er, was. Actress Elizabeth Arciniega. Man, hard to believe it's been 12 years since QoS came out...time flies.

    Ah thanks for the kind words @pachazo that means a lot, and well done on another devilishly clever set of clues. Amazing how everything fits together so easily once revealed.

    I’ve had a run of good fortune here recently, and to help my little bird-brain is there anybody who hasn’t been clue-setter for a while (or any foolishly brave members who haven’t had a go before) fancies a go?

    If so please shout and I’ll use a random number generator to pick someone fairly. Of course I’m not trying to shirk my responsibilities so if there’s no volunteers I’ll get a new round started tomorrow.

    I guess you'll just have to take it. Without you on the guessing side we might actually stand a chance... 😂 😂 😂 😂

    OK, here we go then, good luck!

    guess the EON character

    1 You’ll need three if you want to meet me
    2 You’ll need three if you want to meet me
    3 You’ll need three if you want to meet me
    4 Ouch. This task would be easier with a mirror
    5 Fool him once, fool him twice
    6 Bond has his own collection of these items
    7 I share a connection with Jack
    8 Get it in just the right place and it will fit perfectly
    9 My accommodation is very similar to Bond’s, perhaps?
    10 You see what comes of all this running around, Mr. Bond? I’m much more relaxed
    11 I give the signal, but it’s not a nod
    12 If he had known, Q would have loved to meet me, but he’s not getting the chance
    13 Bond’s visited several of these places in his time
    14 You’ll need three if you want to get rid of me
