I had no idea with blue and purple. It was just a lucky guess with my last chance.

Nor me. I'd never heard of one of the blues or two of the purples.

Very fortunate that I am reading a novel at the moment that mentions a physical attribute several times which triggered me to realise what the purple group was.

Purple was an educated guess based on general characteristics of the objects. Yellow I didn't have a clue until the answer was revealed.

Hmmm... I would never have got purple on its own and I (spoiler)







Did Greek (Ancient) at school. Don't think of them like that at all.

Never heard of the green category before, but the others were easy enough.

I'd ner heard of the last two words, but got the basic idea.

Yes, the green group which we all 'got' last seems ludicrously specific

That's the thing about Connections: you only need three of the colours to be easy for the whole thing to be easy - the last can be ridiculously obscure, because it'll be the left-over category. Mind you, like I remember someone else saying on this thread, I do try to work out the category for the last four before clicking on them.

On Connections on BBC2, you get 1 point each for identifying the groups, 1 point each for the first three groups you can say what the connection is, and if you get all four you get 3 points extra, which highlights the issue that you only need to know 3 to get the 4 groups.
