The Rules
1000 points will be awarded to
IGI in this instance as question-setter and for every 30 seconds in which Members fail to post a correct connection, a further 50 points will be awarded to him. Members posting an incorrect answer will be deducted 100 points, although 50 bonus points will be awarded for guesses in which a correct composition is discovered. Incorrect connections which show a degree of intelligence or ingenuity will be awarded 25 points. These will be judged by an expert panel (the
mods) and their verdict shall be final. If a Member has three consecutive guesses dismissed by the
mods, he/she may launch an appeal to be considered by the
forum owners, who may wish to bring in an extra panel of adjudicators, headed by Mr Roger Wright, Comptroller of Radio 3.

Members may request a clue from the question-setter after an appropriate ‘price’ has been negotiated; we consider that 25 points an acceptable level of payment for a gentle hint, 50 for a something as subtle as a brick dropping on one’s foot. It should be borne in mind that some question–setters would be willing to accept bribes in the form of coffee and walnut sponge – we leave that judgment up to individual Members.
-oOo-
Correctly identified connections, containing the titles of all compositions and the correct link, will be awarded 2500 points, which they may trade in for suitable emoticons or clipart images displayed in the thread or for hints in further puzzles. The Member with the most points at the end of calculations each calendar month will be awarded a Musical Connections Commemorative Thumbscrew which they will display with pride on their respective mantelpieces.
