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.

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?

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 โhere screamersโ don't even turn up). A few difficult questions, for which you give a little hint after every wrong answer, might be โeasierโ. Above all, it would be clearer (also for you).

Round 1 was too easy so people didnโt 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? Thatโs 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). Iโll think of a way to structure the hints so itโs fair on everybody.
