Picture quizzes

One of the webcomics I read posted this today. I guess most people are familiar with the puzzle style: guess the word/phrase/film title/whatever from the picture. I love this sort of thing.. whenever I see one I spend ages trying to guess it until I get it right.

This one is kind of niche I suppose - though there are a few that don't require too much maths knowledge (like the trig function ones) - but I'll put it here as an example. If you have any more like this (or any pictograms/dingbats etc.) please post them Very Happy

I've managed seven so far.

i don't really know many movie titles... that and I can't get past the math being math.... XD

I think the first one is the matrix?

the one with sin and tall buildings under it... seems like it could be some disaster armageddon movie where a big tidal wave kills everyone...

the graph theory one ... like I don't even recognize all the names TT_TT can't think of a movie where a mike is all alone.

The movies are all pretty famous (all have at least 10000 votes on imdb, apparently), so none of them are too obscure.

The fourth one is the Mighty Ducks? I was stuck in superior for a long time, and it popped into my head last night when I went to bed. (I was too tired to get back up and post it on the forum)

And I think the very last one is Beauty and the the Beast. Just because 666 is the mark of the devil or "the beast"

#4 is one of the ones I didn't get, so I'm not sure haha.

And the last one is correct.. the other equation is sometimes called the most beautiful in mathematics.

Ok Knic and I looked htem over and came with this(from left to right, top to bottom)

snakes on a plane
independence day
mean girls
Glory Road - not 100% on this one
8 mile( pam got it first)
?????????? all we could see is if you took the determinant it is 1 , we wondered if "the determined one" was a movie title but imdb said no
Field of Dreams
alpha and omega
13th floor
the sum of all fears

for the first pic:

is the one with 4 sines, just Signs?

Subject: Re: Picture quizzes Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:44 am

Those answers all look good to me. I'd never heard of Glory Road before so I didn't get that one.

The matrix one is a rotation matrix, so I figure the answer is Matrix Revolutions.

Inception
the Odd Couple

I thought it was starwars but that was purely a visual thing
exorcist
?
Absolute Power

Subject: Re: Picture quizzes Wed Mar 23, 2011 1:52 pm

1) is Manhattan
9) is Transformers

I can't get the others. Star Wars seems like it's right I think.
