    I just understood the first version of the 2nd pic! It all seems so obvious now... Well done Muizer & Sar1n!

    Yes well, I had my doubts about that pic. Apparently 'better' can be used for someone who bets, but then I realised that might be highly contextual and a gambler placing a bet in a casino might be the wrong context, in which case a native speaker would never guess it. The alternative pick (someone improving on something) is at least correct, though open to many more interpretations as well. "Silence is Golden".....I cannot dispute that. Is not what I intended but it's just as correct as 'the less said, the better', perhaps more so.

    "Come clean and face the punishment" would've fit perfectly, given that the first image says "potes me mundare" which means: "You can clean me". :/
    But in this defeat I have to remember: "Tis but a flesh wound"

    Try to take the first image a bit more...generically.

    Well, some more hints might be in order, I don't get it yet.

    Okay. The first image...it's not about Jesus, religion, or anything inscribed on the image. It's what he does there, very generically...

    "Suffering is blessing" comes to mind.

    Nope. Five words, remember...you hit none of them. Though the tone of the phrase is a bit similar...

    Nope. The order of images follows the order of their themes in the phrase.
