RY CLV RNGH? Can you find the connection between Jezebel, Chopin's piano, Jan Masayrk and The Burghers of Prague? Only Connect is the ultimate test of knowledge and lateral thinking. Since 2008 the fiendishly difficult quiz show has been challenging contestants to find connections between apparently unrelated clues. The Only Connect Quiz Book collects over 200 of the most entertaining and perplexing challenges from the team behind the BBC's hugely popular quiz show - including many new (never broadcast) questions. Covering each of the show's four rounds - Connections, Sequences, the Connecting Wall and Missing Vowels - and with introductions from presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell, here is your chance to put your own sleuthing and quizzical knowledge to the Only Connect test. With games to play on your own or in teams (clever names, please), The Only Connect Quiz Book will take your quizzing achievements to a new level.
