I can see four words beginning with Latin prefixes based on numbers - Uniform, Bicycle, Triangle, and Quadrant. But knowing you, that's probably a red herring as it seems too obvious.

There's also 5 obvious sports teams - Royals (Kansas City, baseball), Kings (Sacremento, basketball), Indians (Cleveland, baseball), Capitals (Washington, ice hockey), and Flame (Calgary, ice hockey). Also knowing you, I'd guess that that's probably a category, but not sure which of those are the right ones (or if there's any extra that I've missed)

Great spots. :)

I don't know if to take the first part as a compliment or not as it is a group, and I thought I'd managed to sneak it in without making it too easy. :lol:

So that's: Latin prefixes based on numbers - Uniform, Bicycle, Triangle, and Quadrant.

You're right about the sporting names, and it is 4 out of those 5. But you haven't yet said the one sport that covers all 4 so I'll leave that group until you've spotted it.


Going to be really abstract, but as I know you like words including numbers, have you done a real sneaky and gone for:
Extension, Spider, City, and Rest

No, that's not a group or connection.
TBH, I'm not 100% sure what the connection of that would be. But I do love a hidden word one though so it's always worth a guess. :lol:


They're all numbers. Ten is 10 obviously. Pi is 3.14....., i is the square root of minus one, and e is Euler's number which is 2.718....
As I said, a bit abstract :lol:

Sorry folks - family birthday has distracted me.

The answer is Pitt, Peru, Type and Reporter. The connection is that they can all be typed using just the type row of a querty keyboard.[/quote]

While there's been a few posts since the last correct guess, I'll just post a reminder of where we are with the latest wall:

Triangle. Knot. Marker. Royals.
Extension. Bicycle. Kings. City.
Indians. Rest. Quadrant. Youth.
Flame. Capitals. Uniform. Spider.


BristolDon has found one group:

Latin prefixes based on numbers - Uniform, Bicycle, Triangle, and Quadrant.

And was very close on another:

There also 5 obvious sports teams - Royals (Kansas City, baseball), Kings (Sacremento, basketball), Indians (Cleveland, baseball), Capitals (Washington, ice hockey), and Flame (Calgary, ice hockey).

The correct four are in that list of 5, but the correct Sport isn't as they aren't US teams. There's a big clue with one of them.

The other two groups haven't yet been spotted.


I've been mulling over this for a while and I believe they are Indian Premier League cricket teams, they seem over the top enough and very American but not American. Not sure if Indians is a red herring or if that actually makes more sense

I'm guessing Extension / Spider / Rest / Marker as things all used in Snooker?

Big Youth was a reggae singer. Big Flame were a band. Big City are a band. Big Knot is not a band. So no idea! :D

That'll be 'Eternal' as a prefix to Knot, City, Youth & Flame.

OK.
I was thinking this one could go either way. I was pleased with the connections, but I thought one or two of the clues might be too much of a giveaway. I guess they weren't. :)

Not sure about the rest of the class but I need a clue!
