As a big fan of multisport competitions, I was quickly competed in a modern pentathlon as these are all events in the particular Olympic sport.
It is called the modern pentathlon to distinguish it from the old pentathlon, but in truth it is not very modern anymore. It’s a bit like someone who calls a typewriter a modern pencil.
In my opinion, there should be more of these tests of sporting ability – I remember a brief attempt to market a chessboxing hybrid for a while back, and of course there is triathlon, but why stop there?
Combination of table games, athletics and martial arts creates hundreds of monitoring options; Who doesn’t want to see Jenga-Pole Vault-Judo?
Getting the hardest group consisting of four funds was early a tension for me today, tempered a bit of the fact that I don’t understand the blue group, like a win At all – like I didn’t understand it a year ago when the exact same group appeared in connections #340.
Back then, in May 2024, it was a green group, so I don’t think I’m alone in fighting to see where the ice fits.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
Yesterday’s new -connections answer (Saturday, May 31, Game #720)

What are new connections?
New Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four objects that share something in common, and each group has another level of difficulty: green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you do not have to technically solve the last one, as you can answer one by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of breathing room.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to get up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played free of charge via the new Games website on desktop or mobile.
