MM Links Solutions August 2008 [Week 1]
22 Answers
This first week in the reign of Sir Sarumite went beautifully smoothly. Following a theme of Transport, I can now reveal his chosen links were:
BANANA Boat
WAGON Train
Air RIFLE
Bus ROUTE
Several of these links held out for quite some time and scoring was thin on the ground with very few marks going to the very early birds

No best answer has yet been selected by crofter. 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.Rather surprisingly the first link to be spotted was BANANA BOAT which fell to Entrant #7, when Christiana showed her usual insight and claimed the TWO POINTS. She was followed within the two-minute window by the equally shrewd slaney to qualify for the same bonus points. In fact, within the next TWO hours, another 22 more entrants chanced their arms with no success whatsoever!
It took the wily kettledrum to spot the correct BUS ROUTE and start the abacus spinning once again. Another stale patch was reached until new-comer Diane 1956 rolled into town with her WAGON TRAIN to show the regulars how to do it! �Well Done� to Diane and �Welcome�!
Another FOUR hours went by until the very last link word was picked off by Dustybun with her AIR RIFLE. She also had a delayed Banana Boat to amass a total of THREE POINTS and qualify for the title of �Hot Shot of the Week�!
*** Three Cheers for this early success ***
*** Let trumpets sound and cannons roar ***
Only late-comer keyboardix managed to test the scorer with a single point late in the game as this first game came to a gentle close.
The League Table after this first week is:
THREE POINTS: Dustybun
TWO POINTS: Diane1954, Christiana, kettledrum & slaney
ONE POINT: keyboardix
Everyone else is in joint seventh position on ZERO Points!
Next week, there will still be everything to play for ~ when Sir Sarumite promises to cut down on the options which will be available! This means more points being up for grabs. Be there for your share of the booty!
This is crofter signing off for another week.
See you next week: Same time � Same place
Until then: HAPPY LINKING!

Well .. after my first week as Linksmaster it looks as if too many options were available, keeping scores down to a minimum!! Or was my cunning plan perhaps too cunning??
Not able to fool Dustybun though .. well done to her for unravelling the clues to become the week's Hot Shot.
But steady on Strix old chap .. surely denying a fellow man his ale is just a step too far!! :O)
See you all next week ... (Sir Sarumite)

Oh well meeting Sarumite hasn't helped at all!!!! No points as usual.
Thanks for your choice of words S and thanks Crofter for the use (or in my case non use) of your abacus. (now is it 2 B's or 2 C's ??????? will check tomorrow!!!!!)
Congratulations Dusty and to Diane for getting some points on your first attempt.

Thanks crofter and sarumite.
At least I got a mention this week for being in joint seventh place.
Well done dustybun - 3 points is a good start to the month.
Hope you all have a good week and look forward to another exciting contest next weekend.
Eagerly awaiting Dragonfly 3 results with thanks once again to crofter and especially to pauline for marking the exam papers.
