Brain Teasers
Interplanetary Movie Madness
Conundrums, aliens from another star system, have entered Earth orbit. At first, no one could understand their communications. Finally, a team of linguists, cryptographers, and used car salesmen determined that the Conundrums spoke with imagery. An example of imagery would be "Torbag, with his tongue stuck to a flag pole", which means "it is freezing cold".
It appears that the Conundrums are crazy about movies. They have demanded that Earth provide them with two specific movies, described in imagery, to watch. We have 24 hours to deliver the goods, or every male with a manbun will be morphed into cotton candy. Time is running out, and no one has been able to decipher the imagery. Can you help avert the impending doom by determining what movies the Conundrums want to watch?
PS: Please do not let your possible disgust towards the manbun, or your craving of cotton candy, influence your commitment to solving this problem.
Movie #1:
Shepherds, when they heard no noise coming from the sheep nursery.
Movie #2:
The Conundrum city of Ribnutz, where there are no buildings taller than 500 feet due to this restriction.
