MM Links Solutions September 2007 [Week 2]
18 Answers
This is the second week in the reign of the Crown Jools and I can now reveal that our bejooled setter chose the following links.
weight LIFTER
loss ADJUSTER
new BROOM
clothes HORSE
Before you fast forward now to the results below, please take heed of my Sunday Sermon:
In the beginning was the word, and the word was 9 letters long thus wasting that entry for two people. In fact this week contained a whole bunch of errors, all keenly spotted and flagged up by Fox Lee but alas, not amended by all concerned. Please take care in future weeks - minimum 4 letters, maximum 8 letters.

No best answer has yet been selected by gen2. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Whatever was going on in the shrubbery Friday night surely honed their grey cells to perfection. The first 12 entrants to emerge on Saturday morning all scored ponts - 4 of them with double hits! In fact 25 of you (over half the entrants) scored points this week but some were harder to get than others.
First to fall was CLOTHES HORSE guessed immediately by bridgenut and followed closely by 9 others fordward, Christiana, ulysses100, freebi 2, paulineward, Grenmus, jan1956, cliffyg & rogerr: all qualifying for the bonus point under the 2-minute rule. The next link to fall was LOSS ADJUSTER when entrant number 4, ulysses100, chose it (along with CLOTHES HORSE for a total of 4 points). Three others Dinkypuzzled, paulineward & Grenmus were within two minutes to pick up the bonus point on this one.
The third link only lasted until 9:05 when entrant #11, rogerr guessed NEW BROOM, which along with CLOTHES HORSE gained her 4 points.
But what about the 4th link? - that had to wait until the night-shift in the shape of kettledrum came on duty and at 8:20 pm selected WEIGHT LIFTER.
7 players scored double hits this week, but I declare kettledrum to be "Hot Shot of the Week" for finally tracking down that elusive last link.

The standings after week 2 are therefore:
Out in front on 6 Points is former champion rogerr.
The chasing pack on 4 points comprises:
Grenmus, paulineward & ulysses100
Just behind them on 3 points are:
Alibobs, Elspeth & FoxLee
17 players then form the body of the kirk on 2 points with 10 more bringing up the rear on 1 point
Last week's newcomer, Murielmci was straight in there this week with 2 points showing how it should be done.
Congratulations to current leader rogerr and 'Hot Shot of the week' kettledrum.
I hope you found it fun. Until the same time and same place next week then, this is your stand-in scorer, gen2, anticipating more good things to come and signing off for this week.
HAPPY LINKING EVERYONE

Wow!! Thank you Gen2 for choosing me as Hotshot of the Week. Aren't I lucky that you couldn't choose between the 7 really clever ones who got 4 points early on in the proceedings. Well done Rogerr for streaking ahead, and thanks to Crown Jools for a nice selection of words and to Gen2 for scoring so well!
