Brain Teasers
Interplanetary Movie Madness 2
Conundrums are aliens from another star system. They communicate using imagery. An example of imagery would be "Torbag, with his tongue stuck to a flag pole", which means "it is freezing cold". Conundrums are also crazy about movies.
Conundrums are threatening Earth again. They evidently are upset that their first diabolical plan, to morph every male with a manbun into cotton candy, was thwarted. They are demanding two movies, described in imagery, to watch. The Conundrums are placing impenetrable shields around Starbucks franchises, one additional franchise every 60 seconds, preventing people from purchasing and consuming the overpriced beverages. If Earth provides the movies before the last Starbucks is shielded, then all franchises will be returned to normal; otherwise they will all be destroyed in a massive thermomocha explosion. The Conundrums are apparently unaware that it will take three weeks to shield all of the Starbucks. Nevertheless, millions of people around the world, in a panic, are rushing to their local Starbucks and overdosing on Frappuccinos. It has now been twenty days, and the movie titles have yet to be deciphered. All members of a team of Microsoft engineers that was assigned the task of decoding the imagery are now suffering Cappuccino withdrawals, as the Starbucks franchises in the Seattle were the first to be shielded. Can you again save Earth from a horrible calamity by determining the movies that the Conundrums want to watch?
Good luck, and may the Latte be with you.
Movie #1
When faith and charity sink, their companion does not.
Movie #2
Sol's third rock, when unmoving for 24 hours.
