Here are the answers I had for each question. I would like to say that I was really impressed by the efforts some of you went to; I know that this round was full of flaws but I threw it together in an afternoon because of the problems with Google reverse image search and I tried to give clues that would help; most of them did send people in the right direction but some of them weren't very helpful for which I apologise... but the teams that sent in answers all gave it a good go! I'll be lenient with the scoring because some of you were on the right track with your reasoning but you didn't quite make it, and it was a pretty harsh round...
