Title: A wee quiz experiment
Post by: Nearly Sane on December 26, 2024, 09:36:30 PM
So if you watch Only Connect you will know that as well as the Connecting wall that the New York Times ripped off and then became a thread on here, they have the connections between 4 things where 1 is revealed and then another and you can have a guess on the connection.

4 points for 1 clue, 3 for 2, 2 for three, and 1 for one.


So first clue is Christina Kay (no googling)

Yep, more specifically Scottish people with fictional characters based on them. Can you guess the what the last one would have been?

The first three are Cateiona Kay - Miss Jean Brodie, Alexander Selkirk - Robinson Crusoe, and Deacon Brodie - Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde.

Ah, I've been there - is it that they are islands that  can be reached if the tide is low enough

Yes - British tidal Islands. The next two would've been Eilean Donan and St Michael's Mount.

I would have guessed Burgh Island, and swithered between St Michael's Mount and Holy Island.


For the next one,  a picture one

Occasionally when watching Only Connect, I think some questions are a bit too niche. I think this is so I apologise and will put up the next two clues, and if no one gets them, will let someone else set the next set while I go and sit on the niche step.

Something to do with death? (scythe, bodies, flowers and a possibly dead woman). Probably not, but my best guess.

As I said bit niche - they are paintings that were used in album covers.
