Do you know Only Connect? It’s a TV show hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell that I watch even though I can answer less than 10% of the questions asked. I enjoy the show so much I made two pages on this site dedicated to the quiz format.

This page is the Fourth In The Sequence format - given the first three clues, can you figure out the fourth clue in the sequence?

  • Clues 1, 2, 3 and 4 forms some sequence. Your goal is to figure out what comes 4th.
  • To play, click on Clue 1 first, and try to guess what might come 4th.
  • If you don’t know, click on Clue 2, and again guess what might come 4th.
  • If you still don’t know, then click on Clue 3.
  • If you still don’t know, you can get a hint based on the Category it is in, or you give up you can click to see the answer.
  • See Question 1 for an example.

You can also check out the other page for the What’s The Connection round here.
