As a special Christmas special, I present to you a sequence question. It has little to do with Christmas (although actually there *is* a connection as it turns out), it’s not actually very hard but if you can’t work out what it is (although everyone will get it in the comments I reckon) then come back late on Christmas Day for the answer. Good luck, happy Christmas!<\/p>\n

And the connection is they are the first four things that go round like The Windmills Of Your Mind<\/em>, the song made famous by Noel Harrison on the soundtrack to the 1968 film\u00a0The Thomas Crown Affair<\/em> (Noel is the inadvertant Christmas connection).<\/p>\n

Picture 1: Round, Like a circle in a spiral<\/em>…<\/p>\n

Picture 2: … Like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"coc2big\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Picture 3: Like a snowball down a mountain…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"coc3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OK. My initial correct response to this was “or\u00a0a carnival balloon<\/em>” feeling that the “like” was implied, but the first acceptable answer given was from Twitter’s Bubbobz<\/a> who correctly argued that the next thing that’s “like …” is “a carousel that’s turning, running rings around the moon”\u00a0<\/em>so I quickly made a photoshop of it. I would be hard pushed not to accept either answer, which just goes to show how hard writing really good questions for Only Connect<\/strong> is.<\/p>\n

I hope you all had an acceptably good Christmas Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
