BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Quiz: ONLY CONNECT
Posted by: Ansel Mar 21 2021, 06:24 PM
Welcome to Only Connect! In a few other quizzes you've been asked to find connections for bonus points - this time, it's the only thing you have to do.
I'll start off by explaining the rules for each different round:
Round 1 - Connections
In this round, you are given 4 clues. They are all connected in some way - all you have to do is tell me the connection. One of the questions in this round is a music question - you'll hear songs and have to identify them, but it works in exactly the same way as the rest: you don't have to tell me what the songs are, just the connection please. Each question in this round is worth 2 points.
Round 2 - Sequences
In this round, you're only given 3 clues. They're all part of a sequence (that means that as well as being connected, they're in a specific order). You have to tell me the connection and the missing 4th clue. Each question in this round is worth 2 points (one for the connection, one for an appropriate 4th clue).
Round 3 - Connecting Wall
This is probably the most difficult part of the quiz. 16 clues are placed together in a grid, and you have to find 4 groups, each containing 4 clues. You have to tell me the 4 groups, as well as the clues which are contained within each group. Careful, there are red herrings that fit into multiple categories! This round is worth 8 points (1 point for naming the correct connection, 1 point for the correct set of clues).
Round 4 - Missing Vowels
In this round, the connections are given to you! You'll also be given clues which fit into these connections, but with the vowels removed. You just have to tell me what the clues are. Each clue is worth a point, so this round is worth 16 points.
Hopefully that clears everything up - but let me know if it doesn't. I've tried to make this quite difficult, so I'd definitely encourage the use of Google, etc.
Onto the questions! Sorry these images are probably massive I have no idea what the right size is ~

I love Only Connect but I'm terrible at it, it's way too highbrow for me 
I'm gonna give this a good go though!
Posted by: Suedehead2 Mar 21 2021, 09:58 PM
I think I'll have to enter this one 
Posted by: dandy* Mar 21 2021, 10:18 PM
My favourite quiz show 
Posted by: Mangø Mar 21 2021, 10:26 PM
OK this isn't quite as difficult as the real Only Connect I think there's definitely a few that I just won't get though!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Mar 22 2021, 07:47 PM
I was thinking the other week about how we coud do with another round of Only Connect so really looking forward to giving this a go!
Posted by: chrissmith276 Mar 22 2021, 08:01 PM
Submitted answers for Section 4 - will see what I can do on the other sections during the course of the week but not expecting much!!
Posted by: Ansel Mar 22 2021, 10:47 PM
Great to have some entries already! I've just updated the opening post to include scoring details - you'll see that the missing vowels round is worth double the other rounds so it's worth giving that a go at the very least :)
Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 23 2021, 12:15 AM
This is brilliant!! I'll give it a go, but I'm usually useless at Only Connect unless it's the music round and it's as lowbrow as possible...
Posted by: chrissmith276 Mar 23 2021, 12:38 AM
Rest of my answers now submitted - quite pleased with how much more I managed to get compared to what I thought I would!
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat Mar 23 2021, 08:30 AM
Oh I love this. I think I've got the wall, though a couple I don't know so have guessed the most likely. A couple of other frustrating me in the first couple of rounds too
Posted by: AaronTM Mar 23 2021, 02:42 PM
This was a really fun quiz - thanks for putting it together. There's two sequences that I just can't get, I'm going to be frustrated when I see the results as I feel like one of them is quite obvious.
Posted by: Mangø Mar 23 2021, 03:41 PM
I've done much better at this than I thought I would - I've got answers for almost everything, although whether they're completely right or not is another question! There's one sequence which I just can't figure out so I'm gonna give it another day and then submit my answers.
Posted by: dandy* Mar 23 2021, 10:47 PM
The wall in particular is very clever - it’s tough to create one with red herrings that do fit other themes. There’s also at least one other group of 3 in there as a red herring but I’m not sure if it was intended or not... or indeed perhaps whether that was actually a real group but I didn’t know the fourth answer!
Posted by: jimwatts Mar 24 2021, 11:12 PM
Entered! Not completely sure about a couple of the sequences but mostly happy with my answers.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Mar 27 2021, 09:33 PM
Entered! Pretty pleased with how I did in the end (although we'll see how many I actually got right...)
Posted by: Ansel Mar 28 2021, 11:23 AM
Just a reminder that you have until midnight tonight to enter this! We're up to 18 now so just entering will get you a few leaderboard points :)
Posted by: CJK Mar 28 2021, 12:10 PM
Entered.
Think I've done ok. Didn't get a couple of the sequences.
This was good. Lots of fun.

Posted by: StoneDragon Mar 28 2021, 03:01 PM
Feeble attempt but entered too 
Posted by: Jade Mar 28 2021, 03:01 PM
Answers sent! Happy enough with that performance 
Posted by: jakewild Mar 28 2021, 03:37 PM
sent. V intrigued about the answers to some of these!
Posted by: coi Mar 28 2021, 07:40 PM
I've sent my guesses over too, also really looking forward to seeing the connections.
Posted by: Ansel Mar 28 2021, 09:54 PM
An hour left for any last minute entries! I'm going to be quite strict on no more entries after midnight so I can prepare the results tomorrow.
Posted by: jakewild Mar 28 2021, 10:04 PM
can tell lots of effort went into this Ansel, thanks! my new favourite BuzzJack game as frustrated as it's made me!
Posted by: Ansel Mar 28 2021, 10:37 PM
Ahh thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to revealing all the connections
Posted by: Mangø Mar 28 2021, 11:05 PM
Looking forward to the results! I have to say I found this easier than I thought I would so I'm hoping to do well, but then again I've got a feeling others will have done just as well :/ the only one that properly stumped me was Round 2 Q3 - just couldn't see any connection between those songs and I obviously couldn't think far enough outside the box!
Posted by: awardinary Mar 28 2021, 11:07 PM
Sorry I didn’t enter. 
Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 28 2021, 11:49 PM
all that jake wants... is to solve another anagram.
Yeah, thanks for organising it Ansel - as you saw from my full workings (oops) it kept me guessing, the wall in particular, and I fully expect to end up near the bottom! But it was fun and I enjoyed it so that;s the main thing.
Posted by: JulianT Mar 28 2021, 11:50 PM
2-3 was actually quite straightforward if I got it right - you’ll kick yourself if it is what I think!
It was 2-1 that stumped me and I came up with something but it seemed really tenuous, so I might well be kicking myself on that one.

NOOOOOOO
so obvious now

Thanks everyone! Results will come this evening

I got a connection for 2-1... not sure if it was the intended one or not though.
I agree that 2-3 was comparatively easy, it was very much in the style of a typical question on the show so maybe that helped me.
Posted by: Bjork Mar 29 2021, 10:22 AM
^never watched the show, so that didn't help me
Posted by: jimwatts Mar 29 2021, 10:37 AM
2-3 took me a while, but I did come up with a connection where I thought one of the clues was a bit tenuous, but still fit quite neatly. Since I've seen the discussion here, I've noticed something very different it may well be!
