81 Questions
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 9:20 am
This is a quiz I made a year or two ago for some friends, somewhat borrowing from Only Connnect.
The premise is (relatively) simple:
81 questions to be answered.
Once answered, they group into 27 groups of 3, each with a link.
Once you have your 27 links, they group into 9 3's, again each with a link.
These 9 links, group into 3 3's, and then one final link.
Feel free to answer as many as you want and start trying to link them together. I will intermittently confirm answers and links.
