Anyone else thinking of giving a +1 to this comment, do NOT use duct tape on electric wire.

Or masking tape, that's even worse.

I didn’t know the name of the tape but I thought to myself, this is what they use on electrical wires, so I tried Conductor Tape.

I thought I was supposed to name the type of clothes that Johnny Cash was wearing.

it says "this singer"

I thought the same. I had put the emphasis in the clue on "the clothes" and not "this singer."

Level 75
Dec 6, 2018
Me too. Something like "This singer who wore black" would do it.
+1
Level 82
Feb 22, 2020
the clothes are black. The singer isn't black. The clue is asking for the identity of the singer.

It says the clothes of this singer. If the clue was "the hat of this man" in a quiz about things starting with p, for a picture of a man wearing a panama hat. You would not think it was about the man would you?

I got it eventually but skipped it initially. Thinking I dont know names for a clothesstyle

I agree that it is confusing. The instructions say “name these things that are some shade of black”. The singer is not any shade of black.

I agree, with the clue regarding Johnny Cash. It was hard to understand what it was referring to.

The clue says "this singer." That means you're supposed to name the singer. The Man in Black!

Red Back Spider!

Level 71
Dec 6, 2018
Very similar, the red marking on this spider has the 'Martini Glass' look that is the USA Black Widow, the Australia Red Back Spider has a similar but distinctive mark usually a longer stripe.

Also, the red back's mark is on its back, which is not the visible part of the spider in this picture anyway...

I agree with the comments on Johnny Cash, didn't really understand what you were looking for.

Never seen a magic 8 ball before only on "Friends", I thought it was to help you make a decision.

Electrical tape is not usually black, is it? It comes in all colours. Gaffer tape is almost always black, wouldn't that be a better clue?
+1
Level 46
Dec 6, 2018
Yes, electrical tape is lots of colours. I'd even argue that its mostly other colours, not black. I think the Quizmaster should find another black thing less ambiguous.

The problem with gaffer tape is that I don't think it's very well-known in the US. I could be wrong, but I only learned what it meant because I started working at a theatre.

That isn't usually a problem when clues aren't well known outside of the US

Black doesn't come in "shades"! It only has one "shade", the hexadecimal colour 000000. Otherwise it's just dark gray, dark red, dark blue, dark whatever, you get the drift. The only other colour this is true for, by the way, is white.

Scientifically, white and black are the same. What your eye perceives as pure "hexidecimal white" it may perceive as completely black just a split second later if you shine a bright light behind it. The natural world doesn't live in man-made binary computer code either. That hexadecimal code is being shone at you on a reflective screen. Anywhere you go there will still be photons no matter how dark it may seem. If absolutely no light whatsoever is coming at you, you no longer exist under those gravitational conditions.

Black is merely a descriptive word of human perception, so yes there are shades of black.

I have never seen a real-life goth person portray themself as the image depicted. The ones I've seen tend to be more dark, plain, pierced, make-upped, etc. by comparison.
