MM Links Solutions September 2007 [Week 3]

[gen2]

This is the third week in the reign of the Crown Jools and I can now reveal that our bejooled setter chose the following links.

cross PATCH
SPOKEN word
JIGSAW puzzle
quiz MASTER



The Crown Jools didn't fool many of you this week. Hoardes of you were scoring once again with two thirds of entrants adding to their points this week - 7 of them with double hits. Surprisingly, all the matching words were found within an unbelievably short time (under 3 minutes) but two of them proved very difficult to match for most of you. Details below:

[gen2]

The first three out of the shrubbery failed to score but then AllyLally found two hits (CROSS PATCH & JIGSAW PUZZLE) for 4 points. Christiana was within the 2 minute window for the latter and gets a bonus as well. The Third link went to Grenmus who found QUIZ MASTER for 2 points and once again Christiana was within the 2 minutes and added 2 for that as well. The final link was spotted at 9:03 when sarumite plumped for the SPOKEN WORD.

The remaining double-hitters were burgess3334, country_boy, rogerr, slaney, teacher1 (courtesy of his daughter)- mostly for JIGSAW and MASTER.

15 others scored a single point for just one match.

For being the first to score a double hit, I declare AllyLally to be the 'HOT SHOT OF THE WEEK'

I think I still have enough beads on my abacus to calculate the accumulative totals for the first 3 weeks of September . . .

[gen2]

The standings after week 3 are therefore:

Still out in front on 8 Points is former champion rogerr.

The chasing pack on 6 points comprises:
Christiana & Grenmus

Just behind them on 5 points are:
AllyLally & ulysses100

And also within striking distance on 4 points are:
Elspeth, FoxLee, paulineward & sarumite

The tail is getting more strung out now with 10 players on 3 points, 13 on 2 points and 10 on a single point.

A big welcome to this week's newcomer - Sonyme who picked up a point immediately.

Last week's newcomer, Murielmci scored another point this week (for a total of 3) indicating that it is perhaps the strong Scottish air on our mountains that clears the head for this game.

Congratulations to current leader rogerr and 'Hot Shot of the week' AllyLally.

Wasn't it fun?. Until the same time and same place next week then, this is your stand-in scorer, gen2, anticipating more great scoring next week, signing off for the last time this month and handing the reigns back to crofter for the remaining two weeks.

HAPPY LINKING EVERYONE

Thanks gen2 for proving such an able substitute in the absence of crofter!

Well done AllyLally for being the hotshot this week .. and also rogerr for continuing to head the field.

[Christiana]

Thanks Gen 2 for being such an able substitute, welcome back Crofter and well done AllyLally for being hotshot of the week and to Rogerr, out in front - Just watch it though, Grenmus and I are right behind you!. Finally thanks Jools for the interesting links

[gen2]

I really think the thanks are due to all you contestants, for without you, there would be no game to supervise or score. Long may it continue.

[bangor]

Well done AllyLally and rogerr. Thanks for standing in Gen2 and welcome back Crofter.
Good game Crown Jools

[Grenmus]

WOW! just looked to see I'm in joint 2nd. I must be doing something right. Mind I usually crash in flames at the end of the month.
Congrats rogerr on maintaing the lead and all the other point scores too.
Welcome Sonyme to the mad house ;))

[Aquagility]

Barbara dear, I'm not sure that it's quite ladylike to keep on showing up the chaps!

Well done Jools, gen2, and all who did better than me.

[Ont-ice]

So! One each this week which is better than our average of zilch.
Keep it up rogerr I'd like to see you back in charge even if we weren't on your wavlength either.
Thanks Gen2 for keeping score and thanks Jules for a lively mix.
Welcome home to Crofter and don't forget to get your abacus back from Gen2, after all it is the boobie prize.
Congratulations to all the folks who were able to score.
