The KM Links Game - October week 4 results

[twix123]

Firstly thanks to Big Dave for posting the Herculis Crossword on his website, which has given me time to work out the answers earlier than I thought would be possible.

The links were as follows:

Morris Dance
Flash Flood
Hope Chest
Young Berry

[twix123]

I have allowed those that put both Dance and Dance(r) as correct, but if there are any objections I will correct the list.

The correct guesses were as follows:

3 correct:

Lysander
Handbaglady
Rose Maybud

2 correct:

Brenden
Devaviva
JRB
Gen2

I will leave Sekeerz to update the Leader Board when she returns from her vacation.

strix deserves a special mention by selecting Youngberry as one of his improbable links!

[Strix]

Twix, thank you for posting the scores.

Though I am not happy about Youngberry !

Seekeerz will be back home tomorrow.

[gen2]

Thank you Twix 'n' Strix for keeping the boat afloat.

[ChrisHewat]

Thanks to you both Twixie and Strixie but I think you'll find that Shazza has a triple hit not a double!!!

[Gasbaggertie]

Morning. Jean G got morris dancer as well, so should have 1 point.

Thanks

I am so annoyed with myself. I vowed a few week back I would go with my first thoughts. If I had stuck to my guns I would have had all four correct. Thank you twix123 for your work in compiling the the results table. Well done everyone who scored.

Hi there Twix,
Despite answering 1 link word twice, I did mange 2 correct not 1, morris dance and hope chest!
The excitement of Palace being 3rd in the championship has upset my equilibrium!

@cpfcrosie...although you entered hope chest, your entry was as follows:

morris dance
flash light
forlorn hope
hope chest

therefore I took your first entry as your attempt. I posted a message for you at 18.04 yesterday evening, but you did not respond.

[Christiana]

Hi, just got round to checking. Manxiemo and I both had Morris Dance(r) but neither name appears in your list.
Thanks for doing it though.

[Strix]

Now you can see, Twix, why I resisted doing the scoring !! :-))

[Strix]

Oh, Twix, just to add to that

"No good deed goes unpunished" eh?

[twix123]

Hi all,

Just to elucidate regarding Morris Dance, I did state that I allowed Dance(r) - note the brackets around the 'r', which seems to follow the rules Sekeerz uses. What I did not include were those who answered with Dancer as an entire word.

The following players entered 'Dancer':

beejay1124
JRB
Christiana
Jobjockey
Manxiemo
paulineward
albaqwerty
Jean Gasbaggertie
ShazzaHewat

I shall let sekeerz decide if she would have allowed these as being correct and adjust the points appropriately.

I did mention that it was my birthday and after being treated to a pleasant lunch, I went to the pub in the evening, as usual for a Sunday, before compiling the (hazy) results!

[seekeerz]

Grateful thanks to Strix and twix for holding the fort in my absence, I'm just going thru the postings and will lodge a revised Leader Board before next weekend.

Have looked at the Dance[r] situation and as I'm in a reasonable frame of mind after 2000 odd klicks [amazing !!] in 5 days, I'll let you get away with it, but just this once !!

I have to say that twix has pretty much nailed it correctly, he just isn't sure about my aberrations !!! thanks again for all your efforts

[boxtops]

"dancing" not allowed, then, seekz....? ;-(
