MM Links Results Jun 2012 Week 3

[gen2]

This week's game has now closed.
I can now reveal that 'Don Corleone' aka deecee131 was expecting you to come up with the following links:-

GENTOO PENGUIN
BOOK WORM
POACHED EGG
GUIDE DOG

Did you know that Gentoo = Telugu or a Telugu speaker (a Dravidian language of SE India)? I didn't either.


Slightly better than last week for points, so read below for the details.

[gen2]

First player once again was Roslyn251254 who picked up, not a penguin, but POACHED EGG and 2 points. She obviously shares her favourite breakfast with DC.
Manxiemo was also in time for a bonus on that one as well.

Still with the clock at 9:01, Fordward thought DC might be a BOOKWORM and so did BigMac, Ulysses100, OwlLady and Seekeerz within the 2 minute bonus window all for 2 points

We then had to wait until player #14, slaney came along and very observantly spotted the avatar alongside the post along with the username and opted for GENTOO PENGUIN.
Within 2 minutes, Middlestump had matched that for 2 points
(It is clear to see which is the most popular penguin - 'Emperor Penguin' was chosen by 15 players out of 44.)

The final link of GUIDE DOG was also discovered by Slaney so 4 point altogether for her.

Just a handful of single-point scorers followed throughout the weekend.

So, as the only double-hitter as well as being first for both, I declare
***** HOTSHOT *****
**** THIS WEEK ****
**** IS SLANEY ****

In summary, this week's point scorers were:
4 slaney
2 BigMac
2 fordward
2 Manxiemo
2 middlestump
2 owllady
2 roslyn251254
2 seekeerz
2 ulysses100
1 ChrisHewat (Shazza)
1 Handbaglady
1 Ont-ice (Mr)
1 sibton

[gen2]

When added to the monthly table, those points make the learderboard now look like this:

6 fordward
6 middlestump
6 owllady
6 rockfordill
4 boxtops
4 Brenden
4 jobjockey
4 kawakiri
4 Manxiemo
4 patchett
4 roslyn251254
4 seekeerz
4 slaney
4 Strix
4 tearinghair
4 wickedtongue
3 BigMac
3 ChrisHewat (Chris)
3 Handbaglady
3 lysander
3 sibton
then 6 on 2 points and
11 on a single point

Three weeks down with two to go.
Plenty of time to separate the leading pack of four or even for one of the followers to overtake them.

Don't miss next Saturday's round 4 when the challenge will once again be set by 'Don Corleone' / deecee131.
Be there next weekend,
Same time,
Same place.
Happy Linking

I am amazed to be up there in the points, and also amazed that "gentoo" is a word in its own right other than being a type of penguin. Shucks - missed out on that one, then!

[Strix]

Blast missing out on Gentoo - thought it was too bl**ding obvious and it would never be the answer.
Just goes it proves it's stupid to try and be clever!

[paulineward]

I am kicking myself over gentoo also!
Well done Slaney, and thanks deecee and gentoo. :-)

[Psybbo]

Thank you both, I am so happy with 3 points, well done to slaney and all at the top

[Aquagility]

I suppose I ought to say thankyou to you both, but I'm feeling far from grateful - not a single point so far this month. And only one week to play catchup and then I'll be away for Week 5. Rough!

[tearinghair]

Thanks to the Don and to Gen2, and well done to all scorers. I changed my Egg from scrambled (too many letters - thank you Christiana for pointing it out) to Fried; should have gone for the healthier option!

[seekeerz]

rats, I thought 'gentoo' was way too obvious !! see how easily we're foxed but grateful for two points as well

[slaney]

What a surprise.
Thanks gen2 and deecee - obvious is my middle name!

[albaqwerty]

looks like another dire month here.
Well done to the point scorers and thanks to Gen2 and Deecee.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is kicking themselves over gentoo.
