Yeah, that was the one that I struggled with! Kicking myself looking at it now because it was quite easily gettable!

I think you're very generous allowing that fibonacci sequence answer!!!!! :lol:

Yeah - especially when the Fibonacci sequence doesn’t even start at 1! Prime numbers would have made more sense. Sorry Pete! :lol:

Finally one that I can say I'd never have worked out! That Fibonacci answer is incredible :lol:

Is it actually right thought? Hasn't Halsey - Graveyard got 4 syllables? I thought the fibonacci sequence was 0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21 etc

I think they just meant the titles rather than artist + title, so it would be 2 - 3 - 5

SEQUENCES: Question 4

lSbDgdX.png

These clues are pointing you towards 99 Red Balloons, Channel Orange, and Yellow. So the next colour in the rainbow is green! Very pleased to see so many people going for Green Light by Lorde, obviously the best possible choice. Some people also thought the clues were going single - album - single - album, that wasn't my intention but anything green was correct!

Yes that's what I understood it as! It's a form of Fibonacci sequence still because the previous two add together to make the next.

I spotted that it was single - album - single, so I went for an album with 'Green' in it just to make sure!

Here's how I intended for the wall to be solved. However, quite a few people managed to find other ways to do it (oops) so I've only listed overall scores for this round rather than saying which connections people got right because it doesn't quite line up for everyone!

The first group is words that can be preceded by Don't to create a song title. In this group are Stop, Cha, Play, and Go.

 

The second group is words that can be preceded by One to create a song title. In this group are Kiss, Last Time, Dance, and Thing.

 

The second group is Spice Girls #1 singles. In this group are Wannabe, Mama, Holler, and Goodbye.

 

The second group is words that can be repeated to create ABBA songs. In this group are Andante, Money, Honey, and Ring. I've awarded 1.5 points to anyone who didn't specify that they were ABBA songs.

 

Scores:

8: chrissmith276, n4yr, JulianT, uptempo_owww!, xajnipi, Mangø, jimwatts, Doctor Blind, paulgilb, PeteFromLeeds, CJK, Bjork, StoneDragon, Jade, jakewild, LewisGT, Chez Wombat

7.5: dandy*, AaronTM, RabbitFurCoat, Riser

The Spice Girls #1s group came to me almost instantly when I noticed five Spice Girls songs in there, fortunately I eventually got the Don't one as well which made that easier to narrow down (poor Stop), but failed to get the other two.
I think the 4th round was the easiest.

It definitely was!

Almost everyone worked all of those out then, I did think U2 was the least obvious of those!

I did think that one might be a struggle because there's nothing left but a number once you take the vowels out!
