Herculis returns

[crofter]

Given the four links to be established (using the words taken from today's DT) I would like to ask ABers precisely which words they would predict will appear in Monday's edition of the DT.

This is just a fun experiment. There will be no points - no timings taken - no spreadsheets.

The words from the DT are given in BLOCK CAPITALS and my personal predictions are also given (see below)

[ulysses100]

These have all been suggested before but not in this combination:

HMS Illustrious
Thoroughbred horse
glowworm
wind chime

[bruciebabe]

Illustrious Deeds
Bell Chime
Warm Glow
Thoroughbred Racing

[Elspeth]

Thoroughbred horse
After glow
Illustrious ancestor
Wind Chime

[kettledrum]

illustrious class
thoroughbred colt
twilight glow
wind chime

[twosearch]

HMS Illustrious
glow plug
thoroughbred mare
wind chime

[gen2]

illustrious NESS
thoroughbred STUD
AFTER glow
chime KNEE

and that will be another fat zero for sure.

At last I've got two right with horse and bell. I see only one person got leader and crofter started off with glow worm.

I've not got any after three weeks of the new game so I'd vote for a return to the real links.

[crofter]

As you may know, the link words are given by:
Illustrious LEADER
Thoroughbred HORSE
BELL Chime
GLOW Worm

Worthy attempts (scoring 2 out of 4) include predictions from Chiefpanda, JILLYSBOY, WTW, Pantheon, keyboardix, ulysses100 and bruciebabe (apologies if I have missed anyone).

STAR OF THE WEEK is *** patchett *** with 3 out of 4!!!

Personal Note: I have not constructed a separate spreadsheet for this game (the KM version to distinguish it from the MM version).

I work full time and cannot put the effort into the KM version that I can for the MM version. This is to do with timing of the KM answers becoming available. I will continue with the MM version as long as their is a desire amongst ABers to do so! It would be ideal if BOTH versions could run in parallel, but the analysis for the KM version could be brief (as shown above).

Any volunteers?

Ok crofter, I'll have a shot at it - results may be a little later coming through because of time spans - but if no-one minds about that I have the time and am quite happy to do it.

Steff,
Perhaps, we can now begin to sort out details "off-line". I should be available at <crofterAB@ hotmail.co.uk>
