The HxF Mole 5 - Task 14: Hidden Connections

[Kardan]

For this task, each contestant will be sent a private message containing 16 different terms.
With these terms, each contestant needs to split their terms into 4 groups of 4 connected terms.
With each group of connected terms, the contestant also needs to find the link that groups these terms together.

For example, 4 terms could be:
Hamilton, Button, Hill and Mansell
The link for these would be British Formula One World Champions.
However, the task has designed to be misleading with words having multiple meanings.
Four other terms could have been Wicked, Cats, Chicago and Rent. The link would be musicals but notice that Hamilton is also a musical.
Four other terms could also be Zip, Hood, Pocket and Sleeve with the link being items found on clothing which Button could also fit.
There will only be 1 correct solution for all 16 terms to fit into 4 separate groups and this is what counts as the correct answer.

Each group of 4 terms with their correct link posted in the thread will add 2p to the group prize fund. Only the first 40 correct answers will be awarded, meaning there is a total prize of 80p to be added to the group prize fund for this task.

The first contestant to successfully find all 4 of their groups with all 4 links will win an exemption.

Contestants must post their own answers, in bold, but can have as many attempts as they like. Contestants can post as many or as few groups and links in one post as they wish. Contestants will only be told if they are correct or incorrect and they won't be told what part of their answer is incorrect.

To start this task, the contestants must decide who gets which set of terms. To decide this post a list of contestants numbered 1 to 11 in bold with two other contestants confirming this list in bold.

This task will end at 8pm BST on Wednesday 22nd April or when the group have successfully found 40 correct answers.

Good luck!
