I want a point :(

[Marc]

4. Colonel?

Military ranks

I want a point :(

I can give you Ω points? (equivalent to 0.567 points)

[Smithy]

I want to suggest something but I think I'll give it away because I'm not too sure I have it right :laugh:

[Z]

Hahah omg at the seeds answers, that's genius.

[Shaun]

that seeds one :worship: incredible

this one, um...

4... Flight Attendant? LOL

[Marc]

4. Passenger? Or junior pilot.

Not sure lol

[Livia]

Civil aviation ranks... second officer?

Incidentally, Tregard... that last question was a stinker!

[Marc]

I thought the second officer was the next one :( or is that the first officer

5: Cargo?

[Smithy]

Plane

[Smithy]

air traffic control

[Smithy]

the people on the runway with the paddles

[Shaun]

i'm assuming there's a number as well smithy :idc:

[Z]

I think it's something to do with how many people are involved in each process? So there's only 1 captain on a plane, 2 co-pilots (i.e. the captain and the co-pilot), 4 cabin crew and I have no idea what the fourth thing would be or if I'm on the right track whatsoever...

[Livia]

Passengers?

[Tregard]

Just to be specific, I need a number and word to get the answer.

[Marc]

8. Passengers?

oh I didn't even see the number :joker:

1: plane? :joker:

[Marc]

Oh Tregard just put us out of our misery :bawling:

[Ammi]

..I think Marc has it right..?..8 passengers...is it like a pyramid scheme or something..


..just forget I said that, it's probably nothing to do with that at all lol...I hate these things...

[Tregard]

8. Passengers?

..I think Marc has it right..?..8 passengers...is it like a pyramid scheme or something..


..just forget I said that, it's probably nothing to do with that at all lol...I hate these things...

Y'see, Marc got it right, but Ammi knew why. Cruel world!

I was quite glad to see none of you knew this, because at least I can rest easy knowing none have you have been involved in a pyramid scheme.

http://i.imgur.com/10olWSN.png

Yes, the way this works is that 1 person, the "captain", finds two "co-pilots", who each find two "crew" (making 4), who each find two "passengers" (making 8). Each passenger gives £5'000 to the person who recruited them, which all goes to the captain, who leaves the scheme with £40'000. Then, each co-pilot becomes a captain, each crew member a co-pilot, and each passenger a crew member. The pyramid splits into 2, and each requires 8 new passengers.

All of that doesn't matter though, what matters is that Marc got a legitimate point!

Onto your next sequence:

http://i.imgur.com/vsI1Pkb.png

[Livia]

Can you please explain... what the significance of the number was then? Why 8: passengers?

[Tregard]

Can you please explain... what the significance of the number was then? Why 8: passengers?

In a 15 person pyramid scheme, you need 1 Captain, 2 Co-Pilots, 4 Crew, and 8 Passengers to start.

[Marc]

I have no idea, once again I get my only point by being logical and guessing a number. Sorry Livia but you have enough points so back the ******* off k?

[Livia]

Marc, you deserve at least another point for pulling that one out of the air.

[Marc]

Right?

Tregard listen to Livia.

[Tregard]

Right?

Tregard listen to Livia.

I already gave you omega points, you don't get another bonus!

O - Alice Cooper

[Livia]

O: Warner Brothers?

[Marc]

Livia knows what I know. Not happy.

And I got the wrong order :( she's right

[Z]

I know too, I was gonna suggest the W but clearly one of you two is right.

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

I see, Livia. *tears up photograph of us together in Venice*

[Marc]

Damn I thought Alice Cooper bought the second O :(

[Marc]

But tbh Livia's guess last time helped me get it right so I guess it's only fair I help this bitch out now (acting as if I have helped you makes me feel better)

[Shaun]

oh I see, people bought letters of the hollywood sign? *didn't even know that was possible*

[Livia]

I see, Livia. *tears up photograph of us together in Venice*


Awww... and you looked so cute in that Gondolier outfit licking a Cornetto.

Damn I thought Alice Cooper bought the second O :(


I think he bought the W. Either one of us could be wrong.

[Shaun]

second O - Brian Dowling

[Shaun]

*is getting desperate*

[Kate!]

..was it people who donated for the restored letters of the sign, Tregard..?..

If it isn't then this will be embarrassing...

[Z]

It must be

[Tregard]

I am awfully sorry for the delay folks, had a ridiculously busy couple of days, didn't mean to leave you all!

Now, who is the bugger who got another five pointer?!

O: Warner Brothers?

Goddamit :L

http://i.imgur.com/rkUeKzi.png

Yes indeed, these are the letters in the famous HOLLYWOOD sign, with the person or organisation who donated the money to restore each individual letter. Hugh Hefner saved the Y, Andy Williams the W, Alice Cooper the second of the three O's (In memory of Groucho Marx) and finally, Warner Bros saved the last O. Losing my touch here :L

Five points to you, Livia. Onto our next sequence, these will be "Picture" clues, for you answer I need a description of what would be fourth, here we go:

http://i.imgur.com/G2FMAvu.png

[Kate!]

hmmmm.

[Z]

That's an interrobang... something to do with nonstandard punctuation? Glyphs? Hieroglyphics?

[Ammi]

..rhetorical questions..?...

[Z]

..rhetorical questions..?...

Is this a rhetorical question?

[Livia]

Full Stop. I'm thinking ways to end a sentence: interrobang/question mark/exclamation mark/full stop.

[Ammi]

Is this a rhetorical question?

..:joker:...

[Kate!]

- tears hair out -

[Z]

..:joker:...

:D

[Shaun]

it must be a sequence so i don't think it's a full stop... erm...

the only thing I remember to do with an interrobang is the Harry Potter spoof series 'Barry Trotter'... it was on his forehead.

[Z]

it must be a sequence so i don't think it's a full stop... erm...

the only thing I remember to do with an interrobang is the Harry Potter spoof series 'Barry Trotter'... it was on his forehead.

That's exactly how I know what an interrobang is :laugh2: Valumart and Lon :worship:

[Tregard]

http://i.imgur.com/bSjCpOo.png

[Z]

Interrobang, ampersand, 7 in a circle, 6 in a circle

Corresponds to Wingdings 2.

Interrobang is the closing square bracket: ]
Ampersand is the opening square bracket: [
7 in a circle is the letter p
6 in a circle is the letter o

Final character would be 6 in a circle.

[Smithy]

oh piss off greg

[Z]

oh piss off greg

I could still be wrong and I might have gifted someone else an answer for all I know...

[Tregard]

http://i.imgur.com/W8lnyW1.png

[Z]

Aw man I was so sure I had that!

[Tregard]

Okay, time to move on. Nobody got this one?

You're looking at an interrobang (4 syllables), an ambersand (3 syllables), and a tilde (2 syllables), so what I wanted so, basically, any puncuation mark of one syllable, in this case, I went with a "Dash".

http://i.imgur.com/e0CROnH.png

No points there then, and on we go, 5th of 6 sequences, what comes fourth here?

4. Grammy

[Marc]

4. Tony Award (Barbra Streisand's EGOT)
or alternatively
4. Oscar (Barbra Streisand's EGOT)
or what Livia said tbh

[Livia]

Oh dammit... I should have just listed all three!

Like you've done, Marc..........................

[Marc]

But it wouldn't be in order.. neither of the three people who have won all have won a Emmy first :suspect:

[Livia]

I'm confused... you've only mentioned Barbra Streisand.

[Tregard]

4. Tony Award (Barbra Streisand's EGOT)
or alternatively
4. Oscar (Barbra Streisand's EGOT)
or what Livia said tbh

Since it was the first one you listed I'll give it to you, and you thought you wouldn't get a 5-pointer :L

http://i.imgur.com/nKG0ykf.png

Yep, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. Only 14 people have ever completed the EGOT, Scott Rudin being the most recent. So, 5 points, very well done.

Oh I see ehe

Ngl I'm gutted the Playstation answer wasn't right

[Livia]

Oh I see ehe

Maybe there was a little thought transference going on between us. How ironic would that be?!

[Tregard]

Waves, Cross, Circle, Square Zener cards (Test for Telepathy)

That is correct, they are all Zener cards, Livia unfortunately falling for the red herring of "Star" :L

Ring star bus tree are all network systems

[Marc]

Pip, Ray, Luna, Bear ; characters in Bear and the Big Blue House?

Hidden, Robinson Crueso, Shadow and Open; board games

[Tregard]

Pip, Ray, Luna, Bear ; characters in Bear and the Big Blue House?

We got one! A point on the board for you, Marc. They are all characters from "Bear in the Big Blue House".

I was about to reveal all the answers now anyway, well done on slipping in under the wire :L

Hidden / Robinson Crusoe / Open / Shadow = Types of Economy

Open, shadow and hidden are fairly straightforward, the Robinson Crusoe economy is a little less well known, it's more of a mental exercise where you have one consumer, one producer and two goods.

Go / Brother / Daughter / Black = Pearl Jam songs

All quite simply songs by the band "Pearl Jam".

This next one I'm surprised nobody got

Yourself / It / Hot Air / Beans = Things you can be "Full of..."


So, at the end of that wall, Marc scores one point, plus a bonus for solving something, meaning as we enter the final round:


Marc: 15
Livia : 12
*Kate*: 5
Zee: 2
GiRTh : 1
Shaun: 1
Everyone Else: 0


Marc is stretching ahead but it's still all to play for as we enter the final round, Missing Vowels. Win a point for a right answer, lose a point for a wrong answer. 20 points available in this round, so, fingers on buzzers, the first group are all...Topics in the Big Brother 2013 sub-forum:

[MeMyselfAndI]

How on earth do you work these out? They're impossible!!

[Kate!]

Some of these haven't been alternating vowels and consonants ?

[Shaun]

they're factually incorrect statements now :p

*MUSICAL FANFARE* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PfHB7XutxKk#t=1677)

And as I am up-staged by the music we have reached the end of the quiz. Time to see how everyone has fared after that battle royale of missing vowels.

Just narrowly missing out on a medal position it's Shaun with 9 points, terrible luck, just another point would've got you to third.

Leading us into 3rd place, out bronze medalist is *Kate* with 10 points, a fantastic opening to Missing Vowels got you back into the running, and again, you could've taken a higher position with just a few more points.

Our silver medalist, due to blazing through the earlier rounds, is Livia with a very impressive 12 points, my connections just don't stand a chance against you sometimes, I do need to up my game :L Very well done to Livia.

But the winner of the second game of Only Connect, by sheer might and determination, is Marc with 16 points. Excellent performance by Marc, consistent through all the rounds, some points by skill, some by luck, and some simply by waiting it out (Livia may be bitter), you have taken the crown from GiRTh. 16 seems to be the score to beat these days!


Marc: 16
Livia : 12
*Kate*: 10
Shaun: 9
Zee: 2
GiRTh : 1
Everyone Else: 0
Cuda: -0.5


So, lets accumulate those scores with those from game 1 to see how you've all fared over the course of the past 30 pages!

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD

Livia: 24
Shaun: 20
Marc: 18
*Kate*: 17
GiRTh: 17
Zee : 2
Everyone Else: 0
Cuda: -0.5
Smithy: -1


It's safe to say we have some really excellent quizzers amongst your ranks, and Livia may start suffering from "Always a Bridesmaid" syndrome if she doesn't win the next game :L

Speaking of the next game, I'd like to propose a format change, potentially. TiBB does enjoy it's games to be events rather than the sort of passive game I've been using, so I might like to host an OC tournament. In teams of 3, players would play against another team in 2 semi-finals and 1 grand final. This would of course need 12 players (4 teams of 3) and I'd need to get proper permissions and write up 3 new quizzes, but is this something you'd all be interested in? Or do you prefer the format we are currently using?

Of course, I could run the tournament as well as the current thread, having the tournament as a one off, it's all good!

Anywho, it's been a wonderful game. I'm currently in the process of writing more questions (I always am!) so hopefully the wait won't be too long before you get to fire up those neurons once more.

Join us again for Only Connect, the quiz that's so hard, it tells Peggy Mitchell to get out of it's pub. Goodbye :hugesmile:

Well thank you very much for the kind words :D

Also very nice to see people would like the tournament format, I'll get to writing and planning! :)

[Livia]

Thanks for the hard work Tregard. I'd be interested in taking part in a tournament... except I will be less available during the week than I have been owing to work and study. I'd like to think I could work something out though.

Its over?! D: And I'm at the bottom... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
