Posted October 17, 20213 yr Hello and welcome to Week 3 of the Chart Forum Quiz, this week it is the turn of the most fiendish and addictive quiz on TV (although for the lawyers reading, any similarity is merely coincidental obvs). In a twist to how it usually works, the connections, sequences and missing vowels rounds are all music based with two additional music video clues in each of the first two rounds. This is to make things a little easier. Though a lot of the answers are quite tough, and I'm afraid recycled from my family zoom quizes last year as I didn't have a lot of time to come up with new stuff so soz about that. Within the first two rounds instead of egyptian hieroglyphs we have used popular music formats. PM me with your answers clearly labelled to Rounds 1, 2 and 4 at any time through the week, see below for the rules.. The Rules: In Round 1 all you have to do is guess the connection between each set of four clues. Round 2 is the sequences round. Once again the clues are all connected, but this time the order is key. I will only reveal up to three clues in total. You need to tell me what the fourth clue should be. Note that there may be more than one valid answer. Round 3 is The Wall - this is a wall of 16 clues where you must figure out a perfect solution, consisting of four groups of four connected items. This is hosted here but note- you will only get 4 minutes to see the wall and come up with your perfect solution so don't attempt it until you feel ready. Finally Round 4 is the ever popular missing vowels round where I will give you the connection and also even give you the answers - just with the vowels missing. All you need to do is tell me what those complete answers are with the missing vowels included. For example, if the answer was THE BUZZJACK FRIDAY CHART SHOW, without the vowels that would be TH BZZJCK FRDY CHRT SHW. That, however, would be too easy so the letters are scrunged up and spaces are inserted randomly so that the words are not separated properly. That could give us THBZ ZJCKF RDYCH R THSHW. Instead of audio clues, there are two music video clues in each of Round 1 and 2- here you'll be given a (roughly) full 40 seconds blast of each clue. Clue 1 is already live. Feel free to attempt any/as many question(s) as you wish (you don’t have to make a full submission just enter any answers you are confident with), answer correctly at this point and you will receive 5 points for each correct connection/answer. Don't be disheartened if they seem impossible, they are meant to at this stage.. they will become clearer through the next few days as I post more clues. NOTE - You only get ONE attempt. An incorrect answer will preclude you from scoring any more points for that particular question. So choose carefully when to answer! If you are close I will PM you and try to, like Victoria, get you to ‘have another go’… but you can answer at any time this week, though if you wait until more clues are posted you will be awarded fewer points. Clue 2 will be posted on Monday at midday BST - enter after this correctly and you will receive 3 points. Clue 3 will be posted on Tuesday at midday BST - enter after this correctly and you will receive 2 points. Any FINAL clues will be posted on Thursday - enter after this correctly and you will receive 1 point (of course this is not possible with the sequences round). There is a total of 10 points available from Round 3 (1 for each correct group and for each correct connection plus a bonus 2 if you get everything correct) and 1 point for each correct answer in the final Missing Vowels round. Googling is discouraged, but you may Google once all four clues have been given as some problem solving is required and some are quite difficult, BUT please don’t do so beforehand as it’s just a bit of fun and you are only cheating yourself! The final deadline is 23:59 on Sunday 24 October 2021. Good luck !

Please screenshot or make a note of your four groups before the time is over as these are not posted for you unfortunately on the next screen where you need to explain the connections, however on the next screen there is no time limit to complete this.

October 18, 20213 yr I've never watched Only Connect so bear with me...are we just giving one answer for Round 1? The four images and the two videos all share the same connection? And then Round 2 will have six answers (one for each image/video) or just one answer?
October 18, 20213 yr Author I've never watched Only Connect so bear with me...are we just giving one answer for Round 1? The four images and the two videos all share the same connection? And then Round 2 will have six answers (one for each image/video) or just one answer? No problem! No, there are 6 connections in Round 1 (Vinyl, Cassette Tape, Compact Disc, MiniDisc, Digital Download and Online Streaming are each different and require a separate answer) and 6 sequences in Round 2 (same formats). There is only 1 clue at the moment posted for each so it is very difficult to come up with a connection for Round 1, and work out what clue comes fourth for Round 2. The second clue for each connection and sequence will be posted at 12 today and the remainder later this week. Some correct answers already coming in though, I'll put Clue 2 up at midday. : )
October 18, 20213 yr Author not sure if I understand it either... and where is clue 1? Sorry, I probably didn't explain it that well. The full rules of the game are explained here and the process here is much the same. So far I have only posted 1 clue in each connection/sequence of Rounds 1 and 2. So if you were tackling the Vinyl question in Round 1, Clue 1 would be the video clip posted beneath it. If you were tackling the Vinyl question in Round 2, Clue 1 is the blue square that says 'Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (1993)'. Hope that helps Bjork?
October 18, 20213 yr Author Computer: Simplify! Clue 2 is now up- you can now score 3 points for each correct connection and sequence.
October 18, 20213 yr If I'm unable to participate until, say, Wednesday, after 3 clues have been posted, do I still have the option of only viewing one or two of them before I enter my answer? Or will all 3 clues be visible as soon as I click on the question and therefore only lower points available? Excited for this but may not get time for the next couple of days. (Also v unlikely that I'll get anything from two clues or less but thought I may as well check just in case!)
October 18, 20213 yr Our messages must have crossed in cyberspace! I've just seen the update, which answers my question!
October 18, 20213 yr I've just attempted the Wall part of the quiz - it's not quite as easy as it first appears! :o

(Also v unlikely that I'll get anything from two clues or less but thought I may as well check just in case!) Oh I can delay the 3rd clue until Wednesday if ppl would like more time?
October 18, 20213 yr Are we OK to submit answers bit by bit as we get them or would you prefer one set of answers per day?
October 18, 20213 yr Only just seen this but not convinced I would have got any earlier! Given it a few shots anyway.
October 19, 20213 yr Author Oh dear just ballsed up that wall big time :lol: 🙈 oops! Clue 3 will be delayed until midday tomorrow so you've still got time to grab 3 points for the connections/sequences, but if you are still struggling in the meantime why not play Pete's Pointless (With a Twist).
October 19, 20213 yr The wall is SO HARD without correct groups being 'banked' so you only have the left over clues to sort out from that point on. Plus I think I wrote the same clue in both of the groups I submitted. And didn't take a screenshot so had to rely on memory for guessing links. Apart from that it went great!
October 20, 20213 yr Author I've put up Clue 3 now- for the sequences round there are no further clues to come because I want to know what the fourth clue would be of course. There is one more to come in Round 1 and I'll try and post that on Friday. Keep the guesses coming, don't mind if you send them as/when you get them!
October 21, 20213 yr I didn't have a great wall either - think I just about got one group in the time, and two of the connections. I've since worked out what I think everything should have been, not that it matters now!
