Only Connect is a British TV quiz show that tests competitors' abilities to form connections between seemingly random clues. Many episodes are found quite easily on YouTube. Sometime in the middle of the fall semester in 2018, floorpi became obsessed with this quiz show, but was frustrated at the number of Britishisms that were included. For this reason, we took it upon ourselves to write our own clues, and Mark even created a website to create and play custom Only Connect quizzes. Kevin wrote the first Only Connect on hall and presented it in November 2018, and since then many other people have jumped on the bandwagon and written their own Only Connects.
A common feature of Pi Connect is its frequent use of MIT or even hall specific references, memes, and jokes, as well as too much geography and too much math, and a lack of pop culture references (except weeb shit and video games). For instance, one wall was entirely decimal numbers corresponding to MIT course numbers, MIT room numbers and mathematical constants.
