An exciting start to the month with 'Kangaroo Court', 'Reef Knot' and 'Coral Reef' proved extremely popular with players - but were they correct?

No!

Regal Roslyn's chosen pairings were:
KANGAROO ISLAND
REEF CRAB
COMIC OPERA
CONTRACT BRIDGE

Some players got off to a great start. Player#3, Rockfordill, first matched CONTRACT BRIDGE and then Strix and BigMac were both in time, all for 2 points.

A minute later, GrannyDi found KANGAROO ISLAND for two points

This was immediately followed by BigMac (yes, again) opting for COMIC OPERA (2 Points - 4 points in total). This pairing proved popular with lysander, jobjockey & Aquagility all being in time for the bonus point making 2 points each.

The final match seemed so elusive that I thought it wasn't going to be found! Then the impossible happened, the final player (#47), twix123, opted for REEF CRAB (why?) and claimed the final link for 2 points.

So, for that almost impossible achievement, I declare:-

****** HOTSHOT OF ******
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
********* TWIX123 *********

In Summary, This week's scorers were:

4 BigMac
2 Aquagility
2 deecee131
2 grannydi
2 jobjockey
2 lysander
2 rockfordill
2 Strix
2 twix123
1 cliffyg
1 Eiggam
1 Elspeth
1 fordward
1 JimJools (Jim)
1 joto
1 kawakiri
1 ladyalex
1 mirandasmum
1 Ont-ice (Mrs)
1 paulineward
1 slaney

So . . .
*** CURRENT LEADER ***
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
********* BIGMAC *********

A big thank you to 'Regal Roslyn' for her meticulous planning and a faultless launch

I see too that Seekeerz managed to beat the odds and post the KM Links this weekend. but that is still on a dodgy wicket until ket internet problems are sorted.

See you all next weekend when both games should be found on Q&P

Until then: Happy Linking.

Thank you Regal Roslyn and well done to all scorers. Thanks also to Gen 2 for the usual pre-launch and score-keeping AND for the Hotpot quiz. When I first looked at it I thought 'I'm not going to be able to do this', but have made a start and it's not quite as bad as I thought. I'd agree with your category of 'Challenging', Gen2!

BigMac

Whoo-hoo!!
It won't (can't) last, so I'll enjoy it while I can.
Good luck, everone, next week.

Tearinghair,
Re. My quiz.
Trivial quizzes are 10 a penny and solved in a day. This one was more fun to compile and more fun for solvers. I tested it on a fellow Club member who solved 43 within 24 hrs so I think 3 months is reasonable for the whole quiz.

Stick at it - they are all solvable and when you eventually see the answer, you will say "Obviously". Some may need Google assistance - particularly for some of the 25% type B clues which may be harder for non-Scots. I've checked, they are all in Google (if you put in the correct search terms!).

twix123

Wow...It's been a long time since I was last 'Hotshot of the week'! Why Reef Crab you ask...because I always look for the not so obvious (bit like Strix with the KM Links!).

Thanks Gen2 and Regal Roslyn for an interesting week and well done the other point scorers.

I wasn't complaining, Gen2 - I like a challenge! It's great, but it is a bit outside my comfort zone.... have managed about 30 so far.
