MM Links Results November 2011 Week 2

[gen2]

Aren't you a lucky lot! Lots and lots of points because Regal Roslyn's first choice was never matched and her second choice proved very popular.


Regal Roslyn's chosen pairings were:
VENUS FLY-TRAP
WIND SURF
CROCHET HOOK
MAGNETIC STORM


Read below to see who earned their points.

[gen2]

Beejay1124, as the first entrant, was first to match FLYTRAP, then within the rgulation 2 minutes, rockfordill, Dinkypuzzled, ulysses100, grannydi, owllady , Strix & centrino all claimed 2 points.

Four minutes later, slaney found CROCHET HOOK for her 2 points, which together with FLY-TRAP gave her 3 points.

Nearly three-quarters of an hour passed before Brenden discovered MAGNETIC STORM (along with FLY-TRAP) also for 3 points

So what about the last link? How long did it last? Almost an hour into the game, at 9:59 BigMac elected to go for WIND SURF (as well as matching CROCHET HOOK) for a total of 3 points. I was surprised wind surf wasn't a more popular choice.


There were 5 double-hitters this week so who to choose for the 'hotshot'?

For finding that last link as well as being a double-hitter, I declare:-

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

See you all there.
Until then, Happy Linking,

Before I get inundated with requests, The link that you all failed to match was VENUS EXPRESS.
Google it - very interesting information, but obviously not known to regular MM Links players (including myself).

[Euphemia]

Thanks gen2!

[Brenden]

Thank you gen, cannot believe i scored 3 points when my usual is nil or maybe sometimes 1.

[paulineward]

Thanks gen2 and Regal Roslyn..
I was rubbish!

[Strix]

Thanks, gen2, never heard of Venus Express before, just had a look and fascinating.

Sorry to read of the bairn washed off Kirkcaldy pier.

[gen2]

Strix, it was not a pier, it was the sea wall alongside the esplanade/promenade. The sea wall is 4 feet high, the bairn was 3 years old. According to a local resident, the child's mother had sat the bairn atop the sea wall where the waves (high spring tide) were smacking against it. Not surprising it was swept off. I was in Kinghorn at the time so wasn't around to Blip it!

Re. Kirkcaldy Esplanade.

This is what it can be like at its worst:

[Strix]

Thank you for the clarification.
I will leave comment to others.

[tearinghair]

Thanks RR and Gen2. Obviously having an extra four hours to think about it made not a scrap of difference! Well done to all points scorers.

[BigMac]

Thanks, gen2 and Roslyn.

I'm beginning to get a nosebleed... ...

Congrats to all the scorers and good luck, everyone, next week.

[boxtops]

That's like the sea where I used to live near Brighton - it never ceased to amaze me that parents would take their youngsters down there "to look at the waves"....

Thanks for the results, gen2 - a resounding zilch for me again!

[gen2]

Brighton Boxtops? That was where I was born and lived for my first 18 years.

[roslyn251254]

Thanks to gen2 for the launch due to my poorly computer & well done everyone! See you all next weekend!

[Euphemia]

Thanks Roslyn. I'm enjoying sharing your Australian adventure.

[Manxiemo]

Well, rubbish again from me this week. I'm definitely not on your wavelength, Roslyn! Will try again next week, after all I can't do worse than I am at the moment!

[ladyalex]

Well done BigMac and all the other scorers.
I'm still on 1...better than freefall I guess.

Thanks to regal Roslyn and gen2
