Quiz round!

[undyingking]

We've got another London Road Community quiz coming up! - and as usual I'm asking you lot to be the hapless victims who test the hardness of the various questions. Thank you in advance!

So this is the connection round. As before, there's a connection between the ten answers (which are supposed to be fairly easy); and the earlier in the round you

I read through these questions and couldn't answer any of the first few. I got the name of the nymph, and Roentgen's achievement. And after a bit of thought, came up with the Ford car.

And then I got the connection, and went back and filled in answers for all the others (which may or may not be correct, since some of them are total guesses based on being the most plausible of the available answers!)

So, far too hard for me... until I spotted the connection!

I wonder if I should have more of the easier ones near the top? Although I find it tricky to judge which ones are actually easier and which I just happen to know better.

I think once you've got 3-4 answers, you'll spot the connection if you're going to spot it. So I'd say litter "easier" ones through - though, of course, which ones are "easier" is tricky :(

[undyingking]

I'll be interested to see how many people get Q1. I reckon that if you get both Q1 and Q2, you'll probably spot the connection at that point (if you ever will).

Okay. I happened to be scrolling up the page so I saw the last "real" question first (to which I knew the answer). I scrolled up to the first question, knew the answer to that also, and spotted the connection there (but I may be more familiar with the thing that's connecting them than most, I use it quite a bit).

[undyingking]

Mm, one thing I wondered was whether younger people will be familiar with it. I kind of assume that eg. anyone who's in a job that includes taking down info from, or giving it to, other people will know it… but maybe not so much these days.

I am obviously dim. Have glanced over, can answer 3 questions in total, and have no idea of the connection or what the other answers are.

:(

It's meant for teams of eight people, so it should be pretty difficult for individuals. Hopefully your three answers would be filled out to 7 or 8 by the others in the team, and then looking at them all together, someone would spot it…

[undyingking]

Mm, maybe Golf would be better for the car. Although the correct answer is a very well-known car, I might be uynusual in knowing how it fits into their product history…

[undyingking]

The Escort ran parallel with the Cortina and with its successor: it was the 'small family car' to their 'large family car' (and was eventually replaced by the Focus).

(India is the largest both by population and by area, good job I checked that :-)
