They were indeed. I'll allow that as an invented combo.

Not sure how many guesses I have left, but I'll give it a try (I'm guessing this is my last toward a combo):

Yes, it's your last towards a combo, and I can allow it as an invented one.

For the main combo I had, is the reasoning that they are all connected to manslaughter charges/deaths?

This is harder than I thought. I've been looking all over the place. Could it have something to do with head or brain injuries by chance?

No, it isn't. There is a reason why I recommended Wikipedia, as opposed to any other source.

I've been using Wikipedia the most, but I suppose this might be another clue?

I was like "that couldn't have been it because it seemed too obvious", but it makes sense. Glad I got it.

I actually stole that reasoning (but not the combo) from a recent episode of Only Connect :P .

Just as Planned

3/10/17/20 - All hold records.

Sooty is the longest running children's TV show.
Michael Jordan holds a few basketball records.
Lance Armstrong holds the record for the most Tour de France wins.
Usain Bolt holds the world record in the 100m (and I think the 200m).

For now, at least :P .

I can give you that as an invented combo, though - and I think I'll give you 10 bonus points :) .

Well, Daniel, you were lucky. Lance Armstrong has lost his titles, so I wouldn't have been able to accept that combo had it been given today instead of yesterday!

5/8/10/17/18/20: All have last names in the school names

Becker High School - Minnesota
King's College (Nightingale-Bamford School) - London
Chell High School - Staffordshire, England
Ben Bolt High School - Texas
Jordan High School - Utah
Armstrong Elementary School - Westborough Mass

Might be partially a main combo, but what the heck.

I guess you mean 5/8/10/12/17/20?

Anyway, that's a pretty inventive combo, and it's pretty big, so it's worth 30 points!

Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry.

Your clue actually led me there.

It doesn't actually contain any of the three remaining main combos - and even if it did, the reasoning is different enough for me to have allowed it anyway.

I wish I could count it, but I can't really, since the Portal gun isn't a weapon.

I suppose I can class Sooty's wand as a weapon, so I can allow that as an invented combo.

By the way, the 'weapons' clue has nothing to do with any actual weapons which appear in the pictures.

Well, for the second one, there is mathematics on the board. That is significant - though you don't need to know any maths at all to get the combo.

Also significant is the fact that the speech bubble (for the third clue) has nothing in it.

1/5/16/20: speech not recognized (speechless)

Florence Nightingale spoke for women's rights at a time when women weren't recognized
Pink Panther rarely talks under cover
Art Garfunkel has some speech problems with his vocal
Lance Armstrong won't speak about using steroids

You're thinking along the right lines. I think it's too close for me to give as an invented combo, though.

Could it have to do with remaining silent?

Lance Armstrong

Reasoning is close enough for me to give you the points; the reasoning is that they don't talk (either because they choose not to or they just can't - though the Pink Panther is in the combo, even though he does speak on very rare occasions). Combo isn't quite right, though.
