we think these are all connected by the idea of 'tripling'

[Nexus]

I'm not sure I can accept the answer.

Team 2 - your final clue is: The Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League.

I am happy to discuss it after Team 2 has a punt, and we can make a decision, but I don't think your answer is correct.

[Menalque]

I feel like this is something I would like to discuss, yes

[lilith2013]

these are trebles

[Nexus]

Correct

. The reason I have said that the first answer was correct is because the specific bell is a 'treble', and the football one is also the 'treble'

Water, please.

[Menalque]

I just feel like this is a point of semantic misfortune? Like I said in our PT, where I identified the bell as a treble, they’re all to do with tripling/trebling something. I appreciate it if it’s just going to be a very strict interpretation of what is correct, but I feel that it was very clear that we’d figured out the answer and that losing the point is much more about the letter than the spirit of the law. I could just as easily have used the word “trebling” and nearly did when giving our answer.

[Something_Smart]

they’re all to do with tripling/trebling something.

They're not, though; two of them are specifically associated with the word "treble" rather than referring to the act of multiplying by 3.

[Not_Mafia]

The first and fourth are very specifically "treble", not even trebling

[Nexus]

but the clues specifically link to the Treble. When a team wins those three cups, it is called "The Treble." It's never been called the "Triple", and the bell is also not referred to as a "Treble."

Only Connect is a very pedantic quiz.

Clue 1 - USS Constitution

[Haschel Cedricson]

Has anybody ever gone to a bar and ordered a treble?
