Rule Update

I have received a comment asking the following:

What if someone identifies a connection that differs from what you initially found - would you consider it, or is it fixed based on what you came up with and what suited you?

When designing this round, I'd decided that "it's fixed"... but... if somebody goes to great lengths to find an obscure link in a book I'd never heard of, it would be harsh of me to simply say "that's not what I'm looking for".

As a result, I will now include a "hint" to help give an indication of what I'm specifrically looking for.

If the answer is close... on the right track... but not specific enough, I will award a 50% upvote and allow another reply to see if you can find the specifity I'm looking for.

So as not to penalise users who have already guessed (before 8am UK time), I will mute those comments and everybody can have one attempt from now.

I hope this helps and improves this round.


Rule Update 2

To keep the open questions fluid and so as not to deter people from trying to answer (and also to keep you addicted), an incorrect answer will not eliminate you from the question entirely, but you must wait a minimum of 6 hours before trying again.

Hint: Your granny might have come close to visiting these places.

Are you allowed to ask for clues in your puzzle? You have to circle it somehow. But if (according to Google, ChatGPT or other AIs I don't know) only two to four players are still guessing, it's going to be tight.
I'm not going to list all the pretty singers that my grandmother would have liked at some point, because I still have one try (which is a luxury). But music was a clue?
I know the bands Boston and Chicago (I danced to their music, I'm sure many other puzzlers didn't because they were too young...(crap, am I the granny?)). If you look deep into the Wiki, there are also bands called Kansas and Phoenix. But that doesn't fit! It doesn't suit you, I'm sorry.
Is Music the clue?

ย  ยท ย 4 days agoย (edited)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Music is a crucial part of the link.

Boston, Chicago, Kansas and Phoenix are all bands.

Based on the hint, what's the additional detail that I'm interested in?

Boston, Chicago, Kansas all performed in their namesake cities in the mid to late 70s. But Phoenix did not.

Somehow this question tickles me. Unfortunately, it also means that I no longer care about the others.
Maybe you've simply taken on too many questions that are stretched out over too long a period of time. People lose motivation (many of the first โ€˜here screamersโ€™ don't even turn up). A few difficult questions, for which you give a little hint after every wrong answer, might be โ€˜easierโ€™. Above all, it would be clearer (also for you).

Round 1 was too easy so people didnโ€™t arrive in time.

Round 2 is probably about right but too hard so people give up.

I wonder what Round 3 has to offer.

How many questions are unanswered? 5? Thatโ€™s probably ok in my opinion. I have dropped the odd hint in my comments. Especially on this question and my most recent comment (not this one). Iโ€™ll think of a way to structure the hints so itโ€™s fair on everybody.

The eight cities are located in the USA. They bear the names of places in Great Britain because they were founded, and in some cases renamed, by British emigrants.

Hello, my answer is much more specificโ€ฆ ;-)
I thought this was my chance since I am still very disappointed for looking at thousands of photos wich could show the rainbow smiley at a famous love parade. Probably a womenโ€™s problemโ€ฆ ;-D

I would have accepted your answer... but sadly, mojociocio gave me sufficient detail to be correct. He even avoided the mistakes of "not calling them cities" and "saying they're in England" - both mistakes the-mrs-gorilla made!

This is your chance. You've got this.

I'm not sure if any of this is true?

  1. Trade or government center.

  6. University
  7. World center of higher education, center of innovation and scientific research
  8. Historical site

โŒ It's probably true for each individual location, although there's no connection between them all.

These US cities are not directly related to major European cities other than in name, but they were named by early European settlers, often in memory of their place of origin or as a tribute to European history.

โŒ mojociocio got the correct answer - They all share a name with a City in Great Britain.

๐Ÿ‘‰ I'll give you half for getting the NFL link and for the "loser" link. I would've accepted it but San Francisco won their 1st Superbowl (XVI). Have another try, you're soooooo close.

You are so close. If San Francisco had lost their first final, I'd have let you have it (even though it's a different answer).

My Jet LI / Malcolm X clue is great by the way. Sometimes, I feel like my clues are under appreciated ๐Ÿ˜†

ย  ยท ย 2 days agoย 

Could it be, like Jet Li, these teams start as underdogs?

ย  ยท ย 2 days agoย 

๐Ÿ‘Ž That's not the answer I was looking for... henryclive has nearly got the answer.

ย  ยท ย 2 days agoย 

The connection between this cities is that they've hosted teams in the XFL A professional American football league. The hint 1st worst suggests the initial season in 2001 which was a failure.

And when you told @henryclive to think more Jet Li than Malcolm X I know it's about sports rather than social or politics.

ย  ยท ย 2 days agoย 

henryclive has obtained the link with the NFL. It's that final relationship that needs connecting. More Jet LI than Malcolm X and the losers, rather than winners.
