... Unless Herculis pulls "a fast one"! That's what I sad last night and I believe that there were TWO "fast ones" pulled!
I'm thinking of "Grain Sack" and "Play Fable". It was
gardenknowin who wondered how "Aesop's" could be clued. In fact, the clue need only refer to Aesop - but the point is well taken! Both of these links were missed by all 56 entrants!
The bonus points were picked up by
jan1959 and
Tenter for STORM and TROUT (respectively). They are proving expert at the "originality game". Since no-one thought of both STORM and TROUT, everyone else scored 0 or 1. Hence not a week for stars!
On a mothly assessment, only
keyboardix and
Magyar manged to score something over all four weeks - Well done for that! Runners up (with 5 points) were
addict (who did not enter Week 4),
chriss and
gen2.
In all, FOUR ABers scored 6 points. They were
jan1956,
Magyar,
sarumite and
Tenter. Well done indeed!
The rules for dealing with "ties" are given in the Riddles section, and begin by looking at the "BIG HITTER" :see

Since
sarumite scored 4 points on Week 3 and the others scored at most 3 points, I declare the November Winner to be
sarumite.
Excellent work during a difficult month!
For the December Game, the scores are set back at Zero and I suggest that we run the contest for only the first FOUR week-ends.
