August 28 As with my other connection postings you have to answer ten questions on various subjects and then try to find a connection between those answers, or at least between part of each answer. The connection is not necessarily anything to do with the initial ten questions simply a theme or link running through the original answers.
So here we go, in the first instance simply try to answer these ten questions 1. Which singer was born Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. in 1943? 2. The current Member of Parliament for the British constituency of Hampstead and Highgate has two Academy Awards, who is this MP? 3. Which US president was assassinated in 1865 in Washington DC? 4. At what London Palace did Queen Elizabeth I die? 5. What singer had a UK number one in 1966 with 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me'? 6. What 1997 film tells the story of a 1960s secret agent who is brought out of cryogenic freezing to fight his greatest enemy? 7. Who played Mike Waters in 'My Own Private Idaho' in 1991 and then two years later died of drug-induced heart failure at the age of 23? 8. What navigator and explorer set sail from Spain in 1492 with the Santa Maria, the Nina, and the Pinta? 9. What name was shared by the Apollo 11 command module and the first space worthy space shuttle which disintegrated during re-entry over Texas, on its 28th mission? 10. Which Frenchman is often described as the 'Founder of the Modern Olympics'?
Now what is the connection?
For answers see Connections Part 4 August 26 Start by trying to answer these questions, once you have done that try to FIND THE CONNECTION between the answers (or at least between parts of all the answers) 1. What 'S' is an 8 letter word for the yarmulka worn by Jews or the Zucchetto worn by catholic clergy? 2. What four plants are the national symbols of Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales? 3. What TV cook's father was British Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1983 and 1989? 4. Who used the alias 'The Joan Collins Fanclub'? 5. What 'G' was the name of a character in both 'Just William' and the 'Biggles' stories? 6. What UK executive agency, which was once in the Tower of London, is now based at Llantrisant, South Wales? 7. What was Julia Sawalha character's full name in 'Absolutely Fabulous'? 8. What ceremonial item is carried in front of the Speaker when he enters or leaves the House of Commons? 9. What was John Cleese's character name in 'Fawlty Towers'? 10. What 'R' is a 1968 American horror film written and directed by Roman Polanski, which was based on a novel of the same name by Ira Levin?
Now what is the connection? (Hint as to how this works: if you had three answers as follows: 1) President James Garfield, 2) Sylvester Stallone and 3) Uranus, Neptune and Pluto The connection could be cartoon characters as GARFIELD, SYLVESTER and PLUTO are all CARTOON CHARACTERS.)
So what is the connection?
For answer see Connections Revisited The holder of what British post is also referred to as the First Commoner of the Land, and who is the current incumbent of that post?
For answer see Who is Commonest? Answer ten general knowledge questions and then try to solve what connects the answers (or parts of the answers) to each other. So start by trying to find answers to these ten questions... 1. What group's first album, released in 1970, was called 'Very 'eavy...Very 'umble'? 2. What surname is shared by an Irish snooker player, a onetime manager of Liverpool FC and a 1982 intruder to the Queen's bedroom in Buckingham Palace? 3. The author and star of the 1967 silent comedy 'The Plank' shares his surname with the bikini-clad girl from the Boddingtons beer adverts of the 1990s, what is the name? 4. Who was Stan Laurel's comedy partner? 5. Who had a hit record with 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips', sung in a distinctive high falsetto voice? 6. Who is David Seth Kotkin, who has apparently walked through the Great Wall of China and made the Statue of Liberty disappear, better known as? 7. What had a sixties hit with 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin' '? 8. What 'B' which is a type of bee also means "to move or do something in an awkward or clumsy way" or "to speak in a confused or confusing way"? 9. What 'S' is a seven letter word meaning "a miserly person"? 10. What was the title of Pink Floyd's second single which reached number 6 in the UK charts in 1967?
Now you have answers to the above questions what is the connection? (By way of an example if your answers were Ford Capri, Lewis Carroll and New Jersey your connection could by ISLANDS as CAPRI, LEWIS and JERSEY are all ISLANDS)
For answer see Connections August 25 Answer these eight general knowledge questions and then find a connection between the answers (the correct connection is slightly more than it at first seems!). Firstly answer these questions 1. Who was the U.S. astronaut, one of the three to die in the Apollo 1 launch pad fire, who was the first American to perform a space walk? 2. What is the county flower of Lancashire? 3. The Huang He is the second longest river in China, what is it known as in English? 4. What was Jennifer Aniston's character name in the early episodes of Friends? 5. What senior British government figure is Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath? 6. What type of parrot featured in Monty Python's Dead Parrot Sketch? 7. Who released the albums I'm Not Dead and Funhouse in 2006 and 2008 respectively? 8. What 1999 book and 2001 film based on that book related the events of 3rd and 4th October 1993 in Mogadishu, Somalia? Secondly What is the connection? The answers to the above eight questions have, at least in part, a fairly obvious connection but it is more specific than it perhaps first appears. For answers see Connections August 21 What one name can connect all of the following: 1. An African lake also known as Nalubaale & Ukerewe 2. A provincial capital on an island overlooking the Pacific’s Juan de Fuca Strait 3. The Roman version of the Greek goddess Nike 4. A spectacular water feature which is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya.
