Not sure how familiar Lemmy is with the game show Only Connect, but I'll try to simplify the rules and adapt them to the limitations of the medium here.
Example of the Format
How to Play
- You will need to find the connection between the 4 clues. The first clue is in the post image, and the remaining three are in spoilers below.
- You get one guess, and the goal is to use as few clues as possible.
- Clues are given out one at a time, and you should only reveal the next clue if you cannot make the connection with the clues given so far.
- Each additional clue reduces the points earned to the value indicated above it. e.g. if you get the answer after the third clue is revealed, you will receive only two points.
- The later clues are usually easier to reveal the connection with the last clue sometimes being obvious.
- You are on the honor system to report your score.
The first clue is in the post image and is worth 5 points if you can guess the connection with just that one.
Hopefully this post doesn't earn me a cease and desist from the BBC lol.

The only four characters to appear in all of the TNG era Star Trek series set in the 24th century.
0 points. Brutal. I actually felt like I was getting further away with each clue. Still a good game though.
That's pretty much what it's like trying to play along at home when watching the real show, lol.
Honestly, zero is a good solid points haul for some Only Connect rounds… my girlfriend did a victory lap of the house the first time she scored anything.
