That is indeed the answer. Since you provided the specific answer, by ancient law and precedent I declare you the winner, Orlok, with credit to doubleshuffle for the assist.

Thanks Shayne. I'll have a think as I have nothing prepared. If doubleshuffle would like a go, then please go ahead.

Okay, here's one I pinched from the UK Quiz show "Only Connect". You have to work out the four sets of connections between the sixteen words or phrases in the table below. There are four sets of four words, each group of four being connected in some way. One point for each connection of four words, and another point if you can tell me what the connection is.

Note: there is no overall connection between all sixteen words, just between the sets of four.

PS - on the show, you only have three minutes to get all the connections. For this quiz you have time to make a cup of tea while you think it through

Tornado, Blind, Bowling and Tin Pan are all Alleys

pdurrant · 05-30-2014, 07:45 AM

Tootles, Nibs, Curly and The Twins and Slightly are all lost boys from Peter Pan, so one of them isn't in this group.

I could post five different guesses, but perhaps you'll be generous enough just to give me the points and tell us which one isn't in the group?

Correct. 2 points.

I can't do that, as it indicates which one belongs to a different group. If you work out that grouping, then it will become obvious. 1 point for the linkage though.

Chilli cheese, curly and French are all types of fries/chips. I don't recognise a fourth one, though.

1 point for the link, and you are almost there on the four. Worth a guess?

That also gives pdurrant the answer to which of them does not belong to the Lost Boys, so another point to him.

pdurrant · 06-01-2014, 05:13 PM

That leaves up with five items, one of which is a kind of chip, and the other four are connected in some way. Hmmm....

Indeed. Should be a doddle

Summary:
Tootles, Nibs, The Twins and Slightly are Lost Boys
Tornado, Bowling, Blind and Tin Pan are Alleys
French, Chilli Cheese, Curly and ? are chips/fries

Gunslinger, David, Gasoline, Bishop and Marvin are something else, except for one which is a fried potato product.

Nope. I have no idea.

Lee Marvin plays a gunslinger named Hector David in Bad Day at Black Rock. Somehow a Molotov cocktail (filled with gasoline!) plays a role in that film too.

So what are Bishop fries??

Didn't read your previous response properly. Tornado is not one of the Alleys - it belongs to the Fries group. And Gasoline is the missing Alley answer.

So that just leaves the Gunslinger/David/Marvin/Bishop group. Typical MR readers should have little problem with this grouping.

Good try, but not right.
