    Still means nothing. Is this a well known game/puzzle?

    They are film/TV/cartoon characters, represented as bar charts. The bars reflect the character's colours and relative size. Hence, for the answer given above for no.4, one bar is TinTin, the other is Snowy the dog.

    A few more clues.

    (1) Doh
    13) Who killed Kenny
    10) Yab-a-dab-a-do
    15) Galaxy Express
    20) phasers set-to stun

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    Yes, thanks for posting this, Triple+1 H. Some light-hearted distraction, and my eldest daughter was surprisingly quick at it. My wife on the other hand didn't get it at all !
