*MUSICAL FANFARE*

And ending on that delicious note we have reached the end of the quiz, so, after round 4, the scores look like this.

Taking up the rear and our only negative scorer it's Smithy with -1 points, Missing Vowels can be a cruel mistress. Also special note to Zee who lost a point but reeled it back in, putting themselves squarely back on 0 points.

In 5th place, with a complete guess in the sequences round is Marc, with 2 points.

An honourable performance by *Kate* earned her 4th place, with some terrific play in the final round and great lateral thinking throughout.

Coming ever so close to a silver position but narrowly missing it in 3rd place is Shaun with 11 points. One of the most consistent player of the game, Shaun managed to get some incredibly tricky puzzles, its just a shame the first wall was such a bugger :L

In second place with 12 points it Livia, who managed to knock me for six by deducing the Pi sequence (which I considered the worst puzzle in the entire game) effortlessly. Thoroughly deserved 2nd place

But the champion of the first TiBB Only Connect game is GiRTh with a fantastic 16 points. GiRTh gained points in every round, solving some of my most fiendish puzzles (Monopoly corners, Fire extinguisher codes, etc.), but the real Tour De Force was during missing vowels, GiRTh was unstoppable and managed to take the lead. Very very well done and well deserved

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD - Game 1 final standings

• GiRTh: 16
• Livia: 12
• Shaun: 11
• *Kate*: 7
• Marc: 2
• Zee (And Everyone else): 0
• Smithy: -1

So, all that's left for me to do is to say thank you to everyone for playing. I wasn't sure how well this would be received but I was delighted to see it was enjoyed by all Now to get to work on Game 2! Hopefully it shouldn't be too far off

I've been Tregard, your quizmaster, you've been bloody good at this, and this has been Only Connect, the quiz that makes MENSA look like a Kindergarten club, goodbye
