All you need to know about Math and Physics Connections.
General
A new Connection will be released at 8 PM EST every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday
Answers will be released on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, naturally
You will have 4 attempts. This will be calibrated over time
Point system
Every category is worth the same number of points
Every correct category is worth 1 point
If you correctly guess all categories in 1 try, your total score (4), will be multiplied by 3.1415 (pi). 2 tries, multiplied by 3 (speed of light). 3 tries, by 2.718 (Euler's number). 4 tries, 1.602 (mass of the electron).
If, after 4 attempts, you could not correctly guess all categories, you will earn 1 point for every correct category and 0.66 point (Planck's constant and the gravitational constant) for every 3/4-correct category. No multiplier
Scenarios
All correct in 1 attempt: 12.566
