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

Knowing the phonetic alphabet made it incredibly easy for me to work out the answers as I had a pool of 26 clues to work from. I might have only got 3-4 without the link.

Good good, thanks!

It was Zulu and Juliet that did it for me. They were the only ones I got first pass until I worked out the connection and then worked backwards to get most of the rest with an educated guess/jogged memory.

Mm, Juliet seems to have been the clincher for a few people. Perhaps that should be a bit higher up.

As others have said, having got two answers on first pass (Rorke's Drift & Shakespeare Heroine I found easy), the connection between the two was easy... IF you know it.

Having got it, I reverse-engineered all the other answers, and was able to take a stab at ones that I would never have got in a month of Sundays without knowing the connection.

There are some words that so rarely crop up out of that context that (for me) the connection was a giveaway once reached, although if these questions are being read out one at a time rather than given as a sheet, it would be harder to do what I did.

Of course others found the Zodiac connection in your previous quiz easy, and I hadn't a clue about it!

P.S. My Dad was a fireman, and as a child, I was mildly obsessive about learning code languages, so I may be towards the end of the knowledge curve on that alphabet!

Sounds like your experience was pretty similar to watervole above.

(Yes, they will be being read out one at a time in the actusl quiz.)

Thanks!

Yes I'd have never got Sierra or Delta without knowing the link.

Once I had the connection it was easy - I got Juliet and Xray straight off and then Echo

Aha, good, thanks!
