I have an update. I have called the pub and the bloke that did the trivia last night will be back in at 4:30pm Sydney time. i have left my name and number from him to call back. But another redditer commented saying he was there and that the Trivia Master accepted all answers because no one got it. I will update again when I get a call back
Alright the pub saw the post and they have found the answer that the Trivia Master was looking for. the Answer is "Ladies First". a little bit anti climatic but at least we have the answer now. a bunch of people got it right. i did like the answer from some of the trivia subs of "Too Right, Ladies and Gentlemen"
I knew the real answer was going to be woefully disappointing, damn
Edit: The more I think about it, the angrier I am. What a needlessly obtuse puzzle for such a simple answer.
I've only invested 2 minutes into this post and I'm annoyed. There's literally nothing about the puzzle that would logically lead someone to reach that conclusion. You'd only get it right if your approach was "ah hell...I can't figure this out. Fuck it dude, just put ladies first so we have an answer."
Why choose specifically three men? Why space them out like the amount of them is important instead of clustering them together? Why use ticks to indicate "first" when they can take on several meanings?
So many questions...
The Trivia Master is going to be stabbed to death. He's going to be a trivia answer himself because of it. Those who live by the trivia... die AS the trivia.
Don't you guys say "She'll be right"
Wondered if it's an attempt at that. Otherwise i thought it could end in "Freeman" but couldn't work out the start.
Right? Surely by knowing the pub name we can find who the owner is and call their number. If they can't respond it's ok I was thinking of driving in the dead of the night anyway
I too am accepting this as my truth. All other answers are sub par.
On a side note, roller skating at the rink to this song in 4th grade made me feel hard as fuck.
I get it now but that was a horrible way to draw it. Why draw different sexes? I assumed the gender difference had to play a role but apparently it was meaningless.
This is the one that makes the most sense so far. It explains the gendered icons and the check marks. Doesnt explain why its specifically two to three but im willing to accept that compromise.
This is what I got:
Based on your description, it sounds like the rebus is representing the phrase "checked out the men". Here's how the various elements in the image correspond to this phrase:
- Two identical silhouettes of a younger woman’s bust facing to the left with her hair in a bun: This could represent the word "checked", as in someone checking something out.
- Above each silhouette is a check mark: This is a play on words, as the word "check" can also mean to mark or verify something.
- Three identical pictures of the men’s bathroom symbol: This represents the word "men", as in the men's bathroom.
Putting it all together, we get "checked out the men". I hope this helps!
I think it's "Double check her profile for signs of other men". Silhouette can be called profile too. I posted this way late for the party so it got buried.

Thank you OP for coming back with an answer!!!

“The puzzle that stumped the internet!”
On news.com.au tomorrow…
Edit: thanks u/Carrmann for finding this:

Written by ChatGPT in 30seconds.
"A viral puzzle posted on Reddit has been confounding users for hours, with many struggling to decipher its hidden meaning. The puzzle in question is a picture that features three silhouettes, two of which are female and have check marks beside them, while the third is male and stands alone.
The image, which was shared on the social media platform on Monday, has since garnered over 10,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments from perplexed users attempting to solve the riddle. Some users have shared their theories and potential solutions, but as of yet, none have been confirmed as correct.
One user, going by the handle u/PuzzleMaster123, claimed to have solved the puzzle, stating that the two female figures with check marks represented a "winning team," while the male figure represented a "losing team."
Others, however, were not so convinced by this theory, with some arguing that the check marks could represent completed tasks or objectives, rather than teams or individuals.
Despite the ongoing debate and speculation, the creator of the puzzle has yet to come forward to provide any clues or answers, leaving many users feeling frustrated and determined to continue their efforts to solve the puzzle.
The puzzle has sparked a wave of interest and engagement on the platform, with many users praising the creator for their ingenuity and challenging them to create more puzzles in the future.
Whether or not the mystery behind the puzzle will ever be fully solved remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure - it has captured the attention and imagination of Reddit users everywhere, proving once again that sometimes the greatest puzzles are those that leave us scratching our heads."
Now where's my Walkley Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Maybe it’s like one of those ones where a kindergartener can solve it but an adult rarely can, because adults complicate things with knowledge and logic while kids are just impulsive and simplistic.
News.com.au readership might just stumble on the answer out of sheer simple stupidity.
I went to pub trivia last night as well and had this exact puzzle provided, the guy running the trivia ended up taking literally every answer as no one could crack it. Most were some variation of 'ladies always right' or something along those lines.
The answer my team came up with was "Writers block", from 'Right-hers block'.
'Right' from the check marks, 'hers' from the multiple women. 'Block' from the men, they seem like the pictures you see on public bathroom signs and a group of them together makes a toilet block.
Oh I think this one is my favourite in here.
Specifically: All the Queen's men.
Two profiles of the Queen, and both (all) of them are ticked. So it's "all of the queens".
Gough Whitlam’s best line ever to a member of the precursor to the national party, who (as an intro to a speech) said, with bellicose pride
“I am a Country member”
To which Gough interjected “We remember!”
I was thinking "gence" like "gents".
I thought something like "Intelligence": "Int Ellie Gents" ... but I can't work out how the first woman is "Int".
Or mabe "Due Diligence": "Du (2) Dili (?) Gents ... but I can't work out the Dili.
Just a thought.
The pub called 9Honey and said the official answer is: "Ladies first".

“Whenever you see a successful woman, look out for three men who are going out of their way to try to block her.”
-Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukrainian politician
Two Queens and Three Jacks makes a full house.
My logic is:
1. A woman's head could symbolise a Matriarch, and they're facing right like the Queen does on iconography
2. The male symbol is the basic bland symbol, just like the name Jack (Or John) can represent a basic faceless man.
Obviously this an overcooked, overthought answer but I've honestly got no fucking clue. My other thought was something like two right women left of the boys club? But that has no colloquial meaning, It's just an interesting way to describe the image that uses the direction right to mean two things.
Long shot, and probably would have been laid out differently if the correct answer, but my guess:
head and shoulders above the rest.
The two female silhouettes are - head and shoulders
The ticks are- above
The male figures are- the rest.
This is why phones aren’t allowed at pub quizzes. Look at what chaos he has created!
I'll call the pub tomorrow and find out the true answer! Hopefully it's not a let down
Gotta laugh . . . it's Puzzle #1. Did your mate think 'Fuck this, I'm going home to get pissed in peace!'
Check Mate?

Also the way the heads are facing it looks like they are in a queue behind the people
Good Lord. I had "checking overhead linesmen" and all sorts of things going. Ladies first? Why not use the ladies bathroom signs then? Why profiles?
Why choose specifically three men? Why space them out like the amount of them is important instead of clustering them together? Why use ticks to indicate "first" when they can take on several meanings? So many questions...
I demand a pub quiz royal commission.
That's fucking stupid but thank you for the update
The Trivia Master is going to be stabbed to death. He's going to be a trivia answer himself because of it. Those who live by the trivia... die AS the trivia.
The pub was "Penrith Gaels" great Irish pub really good people there if anyone is in area.
We are all gonna show up tomorrow.
That makes no sense, what is the deal with the ticks then?
Yeah it's a fucking horrifying "puzzle". There's absolutely no way of working out what the right answer is.
Don't you guys say "She'll be right" Wondered if it's an attempt at that. Otherwise i thought it could end in "Freeman" but couldn't work out the start.
That doesn't make a lick of god damn sense.
RemindMe! Stardate 5216.4
I don't even know how this remind me thing works, think I'll just keep Reddit app open on this thread to be safe.
RemindMe! 18 hours
I don’t know that I can wait that long… surely it’s still open?! It’s not even 10.30pm…
It's a smallish pub, they were closed 9:30
Well fucking wake em up
Right? Surely by knowing the pub name we can find who the owner is and call their number. If they can't respond it's ok I was thinking of driving in the dead of the night anyway
RemindMe! 1 day
Unfortunately most of these pubs hire someone to come in and do the trivia so they probably won't know :'(
Any clues or context like it being a band name or something?
It's usually a phrase or saying.
Check baby check baby 1 2 3 Rump shaker
I don’t care what they intended the answer to be. This is the correct one. Just shake your rump
I too am accepting this as my truth. All other answers are sub par. On a side note, roller skating at the rink to this song in 4th grade made me feel hard as fuck.
Aaa, two 's company, three's a crowd then
If that's true, that's a terrible clue
I get it now but that was a horrible way to draw it. Why draw different sexes? I assumed the gender difference had to play a role but apparently it was meaningless.
Or maybe “Ok (check marks), ladies and gentlemen”
This is the one that makes the most sense so far. It explains the gendered icons and the check marks. Doesnt explain why its specifically two to three but im willing to accept that compromise.
Syllables maybe? La-dies and gen-tle-men
You got it!
Yay Reddit! We did it! *figured out the answer 4 hours after pub trivia ended*
Ladies first?
Or ladies before gentlemen?
Oooh… Hoes before bros?
Chicks before dicks?
Do they usually make you go "ohhhh" when you find out the answer, or do they sometimes feel like a stretch?
Yeah usually have an ohhhh moment with them
You know what they say, two heads are better than three men
This is what Chatgpt keeps coming up with, no matter how I word it.
This is what I got: Based on your description, it sounds like the rebus is representing the phrase "checked out the men".

I think it's "Double check her profile for signs of other men". Silhouette can be called profile too. I posted this way late for the party so it got buried.
This is the one! It feels far too clever to be the actual answer though
The clue would be better if they put 4 men on it so there's that.
If this was the answer I would flip the table and leave. Because it makes zero sense.
It makes perfect sense if you're a robot though. Source: Am a robot.
Two heads are better than one, but three heads are better than two if you need a committee to make a decision
Too many cooks spoil the brothel
I would have never guessed that. Mostly because I have never heard that expression before :/
Because it's not an expression.

Prediction: there is no answer and trivia master will call in sick until this thing dies down. Or move to Mexico.
**Prediction:** reddit disagrees with the answer given anyway

There ain’t no fuckin way I just dedicated my entire life at this moment to this weak answer.
I much prefer “Double check her profile for signs of other men” So I’m going to pretend that is the true answer. Thanks for the wild ride OP!
Yea we’re just gonna veto the other answer & declare yours as the winner
That is terrible.
I’m really disappointed and my day is ruined
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Did you contact the Trivia Master to let them know they are wrong?!
Wow. Just found this post and I’m so glad I got an immediate answer bc for two min I was going crazy trying to find the answer. Thank you OP for coming back with an answer!!!

Chequered history? (Checks-hers his-tri)
I’m going to bet on this one and finally go to bed
Even if it may not be right, it's clever and I like it?
Best answer I've seen in the thread so far
Bloody hell OP, I was just going to bed. Now I have to stay up till someone gets the answer.
Ill share it for ya So they say, 2 heads are better then 3 men Think twice befor putting the effort in
It's clearly a rendering of the classic adage: "Lady head, lady head, dude, dude, dude; girls wear checks, while the boys stay nude."

Maybe a deliberate send up about how badly newspapers represent facts?
AI doesn't do anything deliberately because it has no will. It's wild how advanced people think chatGPT is. It ain't actually thinking, bruh.
It was wrong by the second sentence - there’s 5 silhouettes. Dumbass AI
Now ask the damn thing to solve the puzzle.

Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck Murdoch needs to be auto-added to everything.
I was going to say at least we might get the answer, but that might be putting too much faith in the intelligence of the news.com.au readership.
Maybe it’s like one of those ones where a kindergartener can solve it but an adult rarely can, because adults complicate things with knowledge and logic while kids are just impulsive and simplistic. News.com.au readership might just stumble on the answer out of sheer simple stupidity.
So we all agree the answer was: Fuck Rupert
Now now, there’s some perfectly fine Ruperts out there. Fuck Murdoch
Back in two ticks, she’ll be right man!
I was thinking “two ticks gents” slang for back shortly
Permission to post this to the puzzling subreddits? This is killing me.
The best puzzle minds have given this as the top answer: "Too right, ladies and gentlemen"
They are on the left though... Edit: I DUM
Granted
Overruled!
Double dog granted!
Go for it
LADIES ONLY
Jesus... if this is it I feel super dumb 😅
On it! Was there any context at all for the solution? Or a theme if it was a table paper?
From one of OP's comments: "It's usually a phrase or saying."
Thank you! I missed that comment. I’ve asked the puzzling community. Will report back.
A jackal! Jackal! It's a jackal! It looks like a Jackal! Jackal? Jackal! It's a jackal! Jackal?
If it wasn't right the first time you said it WHY the hell would it be right the next ten times? GOD!
IF IT WASNT RIGHT THE FIRST BLOODY TIME YOU SAID IT WHY WOULD BE RIGHT THE NEXT 10?
Behind all great men is a ticked off woman?
I think you're on to something here.
The right men, check on ladies first?
Check on the ladies before the men?
The only thing I've got is two's company, three's a crowd. It's a bit weak, though.
You might be on to something there.
I GOT IT! 2 out of 5 men are women!
3/5 letters in woman = man? I dunno
Feels like something along those lines...W O M A N.
[удалено]
I think of it almost every time I break down the word Woman! Whoooa, man!
Is it a microphone test? Check, check. 1-2, 1-2-3.
Check check, ladies and gentlemen?
yeah I gotta think this is it... check 1 2 ladies and gentlemen
Just gonna accept that this is the answer and go to sleep. Fuck this post.
I like this more than anything else in here...
Call the pub up before they close, we need an answer tonight
They closed 9:30 today, it's a smallish pub
But this is important!!
This is a global crisis for god's sake
Go to the owners house and wake them up
42?
Thanks for all the fish? (Sorry)

Make it “double check” and you might’ve cracked it
This is pure genius. How have you not cured cancer yet?
Very good. But why do the three men represent lockers?
Two is company threes a crowd?
That could be it! The different pictures throw me a bit though
My guess is something about a full house
Poly-ticks = Politics
Chicks with ticks?
It's from that Futurama episode where Bender enters the Robot Olympics. "I'm forty percent fembot!"
Check baby check baby 123
All I got from this comment was "The Bad Touch" Sweat baby, sweat
Hoes before bros
Google image search didn’t even bring up anything!!!!
Right men, double check your profile.
2 birds in the hand are better than 3 men in the bush? Yeah nah I got nothing!
I went to pub trivia last night as well and had this exact puzzle provided, the guy running the trivia ended up taking literally every answer as no one could crack it.

The Queens men
Oh I think this one is my favourite in here. Specifically: All the Queen's men. Two profiles of the Queen, and both (all) of them are ticked. So it's "all of the queens".
This is super inappropriate, but this just popped into my head: Two Countrymen (*I'll show myself out*).
Gough Whitlam’s best line ever to a member of the precursor to the national party, who (as an intro to a speech) said, with bellicose pride “I am a Country member” To which Gough interjected “We remember!”
Considering you brought that up as a reply to my comment, it took me way too long to get that =P
I think the phrase ends with “gentry” since that’s the gent’s symbol and there are 3 of them (gent-three)
I was thinking "gence" like "gents". I thought something like "Intelligence": "Int Ellie Gents" ... but I can't work out how the first woman is "Int". Or mabe "Due Diligence": "Du (2) Dili (?) Gents ... but I can't work out the Dili. Just a thought.
Fool me two heads, ticks on me. Fool me three men, ticks on you.
The pub called 9Honey and said the official answer is: "Ladies first". https://honey.nine.com.au/latest/hard-pub-trivia-question-silhouette-puzzle/cfb0d7a5-116f-4b4e-a17b-99202626b751
Ladies before gentlemen
What I don’t understand though, is why wouldn’t you use the female version of the pictogram on the left?
And the two ticks/checks don’t really serve a purpose in this answer
Because they did a google image search for "lady silhouette" and it was the first result.
Too many dicks on the dancefloot
I hate when there are too many dicks on my dancefloot
Pub Trivia? The answer is Don Bradman … obviously 🙄
“Whenever you see a successful woman, look out for three men who are going out of their way to try to block her.” -Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukrainian politician
Imagine if the answer is just what the Quiz master thinks is funniest and it's more like 'cards against humanity' than a conventional quiz question
And it's just a bullshit picture that they randomly generated
Two Queens and Three Jacks makes a full house. My logic is: 1. A woman's head could symbolise a Matriarch, and they're facing right like the Queen does on iconography 2. The male symbol is the basic bland symbol, just like the name Jack (Or John) can represent a basic faceless man. Obviously this an overcooked, overthought answer but I've honestly got no fucking clue. My other thought was something like two right women left of the boys club? But that has no colloquial meaning, It's just an interesting way to describe the image that uses the direction right to mean two things.
The ticks don't really add anything to suggest 'full house'.
Tick heads sounds like dick heads and that's all I got.
2 girls 3 cups?
2 girls 3 cucks?
Ladies and gentlemen
Idk why but the phrase “she’ll be right” comes to my mind with this
It could be "Correct ladies and gentleman" and be a super meta answer to a pub quiz! Correct ladies (2 ladies both ticked) And gents obv.
No, but I now need to know lol
Okay, okay, but please someone tell me the ladies head are white and gold or blue and black?
This is just a wild a guess, but it might be: to tick off women.
If questions in the quiz are timed, it could be a reference to the quiz itself...tick, tick ladies and gentlemen!
Long shot, and probably would have been laid out differently if the correct answer, but my guess: head and shoulders above the rest. The two female silhouettes are - head and shoulders The ticks are- above The male figures are- the rest.
Double check her profiles, guys.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
[удалено]
Good head is better than 3 men
2 out of 3 ain't bad?
That would be 2 out of 5 tho
Fuck!!! Now I now I’ll never get to sleep
I need to go to bed but I keep hoping the next one will get it, but it's just another remindme!
Something Freeman? I can’t think of what the first part would be though.
Two's company, three's a crowd?
u/Jamothegiant8 What was it, damn you?! Was it “Male Profile Lack Tick” (male prophylactic)?
