Mm Links Results May 2013 Week 3
6 Answers
This week's game has closed and I can now reveal that BigMac's chosen links were:
THIRD PARTY
PLEASURE SEEKER(S)
PRIVATE PROPERTY
PUBLIC HOUSE
As BigMac stated, I thought this might have been a low-scoring week. At that time, I didn't know what he had planned for you by way of an introduction. When I saw it posted, I thought everyone would become instant triple-hitters.
But no. Only four triple hitters.
In fact, out of 30 players, even WITH the hints, 8 (over 25%) still failed to score!
Not knowing about BigMac's proposed hints, I had even included a few in Friday evening's 'shrubbery' post.
For instance, I said "Seekeerz has the pleasure . . ." but she didn't pick up on it.
Details of the scores will be found below.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There was a slower than usual start with the first guesses clocked in at 9:02.
Tearinghair was first with THIRD PARTY and seven others were in time for a bonus too (2 points each)
Roslyn251254 then became the first double-hitter, picking up PUBLIC HOUSE as well. Six others were in time for the bonus points as well.
At 9:04, Manxiemo became the first triple-hitter claiming to be a PLEASURE SEEKER as well. Six points in total for her.
The final link of PRIVATE PROPERTY (no hint given) was chosen just two minutes later by jobjockey
There were in fact FOUR triple hitters: Manxiemo, x-ray, cliffyg and patchett, but for being first, AND the highest scorer this weekend . . .
***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
**** M A N X I E M O *****
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***
and here is a summary of this weekend's scores:
6 Manxiemo
4 Christiana
4 rockfordill
4 roslyn251254
4 Strix
3 cliffyg
3 patchett
3 x-ray
2 Aquagility
2 deecee131
2 Elspeth
2 grannydi
2 jobjockey
2 tearinghair
2 tonyav
2 twix123
2 ulysses100
1 2unicorns
1 Brenden
1 seekeerz
1 SHAZZA-Hewat
1 wickedtongue
Which when added to the leaderboard makes the top look like this:
Way out in front on 12 points is MANXIEMO
followed by:
6 Christiana
6 cliffyg
6 grannydi
6 rockfordill
6 roslyn251254
6 tearinghair
5 deecee131
5 jobjockey
4 middlestump
4 patchett
4 seekeerz
4 Strix
3 Aquagility
3 Elspeth
3 x-ray
with
8 on 2 points and
7 on 1 point
With Manxiemo 6 points in front there, it will take a tripple-hitter with bonus points to equal it or a clean sweep to beat it.
It CAN be done, especially as it is possible that she might have difficulty posting an entry next weekend so all the more chance for others to catch up.
Can you do it?
Find out next Saturday.
