Only Connect

Nexus · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Thu Nov 12, 2020 8:31 pm

Only Connect is one of the hardest TV Quiz shows on British TV. A Quiz show in which connections must be made between apparently unconnected things, where patience and lateral thinking are as vital as knowledge.

Please sign up! I will take two teams of three people to start with. Either join as a team, OR join on your own and you will end up on a team, where I will give you a private topic to discuss your answers before giving them.

Team 1:

-Haschel Cedricson
-Menalque
-Akarin

Team 2:

-Something_Smart
-lilith2013
-the worst

Round 1 - Connections

The team who goes first (Team 1 in this case) will be shown four clues - each one will be revealed, and if you work out the correct connection, you get the amount of points based on the number of clues you have had - one clue (5) two clues (3) three clues (2) or all four clues (1).

You will see the first clue, then you can either guess or ask for the next clue.

If the team answers incorrectly, then it will be thrown over to the other team.

Up first - Team 1. Pick a hieroglyph

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.

Nexus · Post Post #42 (isolation #17) » Wed Nov 18, 2020 6:58 am

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'

Choose a hieroglyph, Team 2

Team 2

Nexus · Post Post #47 (isolation #18) » Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:04 am

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.

They must give the final item in the sequence, and score points even if their theory for the connection is incorrect.
