READ FIRST: TRAIN DERAILED

I had planned to have a small train after the last puzzle. However, when I tried to make the last giveaway, I discovered that there's a limit to how many giveaways I can create at once and that I have to complete more giveaways to be able to have more simultaneous giveaways. "OK," I thought. "I'll just delete the last giveaway I made, and I'll run a few quick giveaways in a row to increase my limit." Unfortunately, I also discovered that deleting a giveaway does not recover a giveaway slot, so now my train has just one giveaway. I've submitted a support ticket to see if I can recover that slot, but I'm not holding my breath.

What I've decided to do to work around this: If you get to the 4th giveaway, please leave a comment on that giveaway. After this event ends, I'll whitelist you and reply to your comment with the link to a bonus whitelist train.


OUT ON A LIMB - Movie/TV Trivia & Jigsaw Event

Details

  • Ends July 24 at 6 PM UTC
  • 4 giveaways for now, more to come (see above disclaimer)
  • All giveaways are level 1+ with basic SGTools protections.
  • All games are Steam gifts, so make sure to check your email if you win.

How This Works

  • Each answer is a character from a movie or TV show with a missing hand, foot, or limb or that lost a hand, foot, or limb during the course of the movie or show.
  • Each answer is the character's full given name, including middle name or initial if the character has one. No nicknames, aliases, or alter egos. You can usually find the character's full name on Wikia or Wikipedia.
  • Each question has 3 clues.
    1. Clue #1 is pretty vague, and it will likely be difficult to guess without at least Clue #2.
    2. Below Clue #1 is a link to an easy jigsaw puzzle. Complete the puzzle to reveal Clue #2 and a link to another jigsaw puzzle.
    3. If you are still unable to guess the answer with Clue #2, complete the second jigsaw puzzle to reveal a collection of images that is a clue to the movie or TV show's title.
  • The second jigsaw puzzle is always harder than the first, and each round all the puzzles get harder.
  • All jigsaw puzzles are optional. Only complete them if you need additional clues. There is no reward for completing all of them.

Example

Note: This character doesn't follow the missing limb theme.
Clue #1: Has a foul-mouthed partner
Clue #2 (The link goes to a jigsaw puzzle. Solve the puzzle to reveal Clue #2 and a link to the second jigsaw puzzle.)

Clue #2:
One of the world's greatest cooks

Title Clue:
jigidi.com/solve.php?id=K6I68I2Y

Solve the second jigsaw puzzle to reveal a link to the Title Clue image:

i.imgur.com/9VqJU1A.jpg

The image contains a man breaking bricks and a boy standing in the corner because he's been bad.

Answer: The show is Breaking Bad, and the answer is Walter White, who is a meth "cook" and has a foul-mouthed partner named Jesse Pinkman. However, remember that the answer must be his full name, which is Walter Hartwell White Sr.. Other unacceptable answers include Walt, Mr. White, and Heisenberg.

This puzzle contains potential spoilers for various movies and shows. Enter at your own risk!

Please don't post answers or hints in the comments.

If you've solved both jigsaw puzzles for a question and you're still stuck, just ask nicely for a hint, and I might just give you one.

So I'm an idiot. I somehow made two versions of the last round, one of which was incomplete, and naturally I gave the link to the wrong one. If you got to that round and wondered why there were no links to jigsaw puzzles, sorry about that. I've added the links now.

Added a hall of fame. Only 3 people have made it to the end so far, so the odds of winning something are still really high!

If you've solved both jigsaw puzzles for a question and you're still stuck, just ask nicely for a hint, and I might just give you one.

The event has ended! Congrats to all the winners!

I've posted the answers above for anyone who didn't finish.

For those few of you who managed to complete the Bonus Round, stay tuned. I'll create the bonus train after all the winners have marked their gifts as received.

Thank you very much for making such an intricate puzzle! I'm having lots of fun trying to solve them all.
There just one problem: I'm at number 8 now, and the puzzle for the second clue (and also the second clue itself) is exactly the same as that of number 7. Could you fix this please? I can't for the life of me figure out the character with just the first clue. Thank you!

Yea I tried one of them but I'm really really bad at movie trivia...

Nice design but really beyond my ability. I do like your design with one piece leading to another hint... That is really clever!

Gotcha.

Thanks! I liked the idea of having hints available if people wanted to work for them. I'll probably use it again but with slightly easier hints and/or smaller jigsaw puzzles.

Here are some hints for the image clues:

Q2: generic name for a large area (like the one in the picture) that's controlled by one person + what the kids are doing + the side of the person shown

Q5: generic term for what those guys are called + what he's holding up

Q6: what the women are doing + what people have to be to stay in that place

I just checked, and the link is working. Maybe you typed it wrong? The second letter is a lowercase L not an uppercase I in case that's what was wrong.

I'd try harder with this but I don't watch movies, I'd be great at this if it was all TV characters (although I can't even figure out which ones are TV characters anyway so maybe not :/)

Ok stuck on R3 Q2 - I'm pretty sure I have this one right but it's not accepting either name and I cannot located the middle name anywhere. Hmm, got it but had to change a vowel - most internet searches have an o not an a :-p

Got the images for R3Q7 but completely lost on this one - a clue would be very much appreciated. Ok, nvm found it...finally. I feel culturally illerate!

For R3 Q2, it seems that the wiki had the wrong spelling. I'm accepting both spellings now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Btw, you can just ask support to give you GA slots - they've done it for me several times - just ask nicely :-)

I tried that already, and they asked me how many slots I needed. I said I just wanted the one I lost for deleting that giveaway, but then they just didn't respond after that.

It's fine, though. After I finish this event and the train afterwards, I'll earn a couple more slots, and it shouldn't be a problem in the future.
