This week’s quiz comes with a clue: Not one of the people we see using binoculars here is birdwatching.
Well, I didn’t say it was a really helpful clue. But it’s a clue! I do try and help.
That’s the spirit! Your picture on the front page, and a headline to go with it! What more could you want? Just check out some of the clippings from this week’s quiz.

Well, I always call them pyjamas anyway. Though apparently the American spelling is pajamas. Also known as PJs, jimmies, jimjams, or jammies, they have been disappearing from our silver screens, just as, one assumes, they have been disappering from our bedrooms. I don’t know why. I think they can be both comfortable and classy. In any event, as with our quizzes involving newspaper headlines and phone booths, here’s yet another trip down memory lane to look at the way we used to live.
Well, maybe not too comfortably. After all, there’s work to do! And I guess your level of comfort depends on the quality of your office chair or couch. Or perhaps you’re not sitting down at all, but doing this week’s quiz lying in bed! Whatever the case may be, you’re better off than these poor souls . . .
Put your parkas on, film lovers! This week we’re off to stiff city, and people tell me it’s cold in there! Now see if you can stick some tags on these John Does.
Don’t put your detective hat away just yet, Sherlock! There are more messages to decipher in this week’s quiz. Who keeps sending us these things? If you can figure out let me know.

I hope this week’s quiz doesn’t give any of you a hard time. At least not as hard a time as Marv is having. Instead, this is just a quick prison visit to check in on some men behind bars. See how many you can lock away.
There’s nothing like a town sign to let you know you’ve come to the right place. Or the wrong place. See how many of these movie locations you can safely arrive at.
Sometimes, Freud tells us, a cigar is just a cigar. But in the case of Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper we might suspect that he’s compensating for something. Perhaps the loss of his essence. Be that as it may, here’s a gallery of some other men with cigars to challenge you in this week’s smoke-filled screening room.
I’ve heard that this watch is a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon 5002P, which is apparently quite the thing. It costs well over a million dollars. Really. I don’t know if any of the other timepieces on display in this week’s quiz are quite as pricey, but the degree of difficulty in identifying the movies they appear in has definitely been dialed up. See how many you can match!
