MM Links Results July 2011 [Wk 2]
After a frantic weekend, I can reveal that 'The Ice Queen' selected the following links:
COMPASS point
HOLY water
TREE line
BIRD bath
Some of these were signalled in the preamble (if you could avoid the too-obvious red herrings).
I have been out all afternoon, so there will be a short delay while I calculate the scores.

Sadly, another low scoring week.
Right from the start the points were flowing. Entrant #1 Roslyn matched COMPASS POINT for 2 points. Did she pick up on the preamble "latitudinal position"? I thought not! Grannydi was within 2 minutes to qualif for the same bonus (2 points). Then later, Kawakiri and Ulysses100 picked up a single on the same link.
Rockfordill then showed his North American roots as entrant #5 by matching two Canadian links for 4 points. TREE LINE and BIRD BATH.
******* LET BUGLES CALL *******
****** LET TRUMPETS TRILL ****
*** HOT SHOT OF THE WEEK ***
****** IT IS ROCKFORDILL ******
Did he spot the clue referring to the northern limit of the forest trees?
Then Centrino and Cliffyg picked up two points as well for the same link of BIRD BATH , with JIMjools, Jobjockey, Brenden & Paulineward collecting single points.
Amazingly (or was it chance?) Strix picked up on the hint " The Indians say the water is sacred" and opted for HOLY WATER for 2 points. Much later, Wickedtongue was able to emulate that for 1 point.
Read on for the Leaderboard.

The Leaderboard shows congestion at the top after 2 wereks (of 5).
On 5 points are: centrino, cliffyg, grannydi, lysander, regward & rockfordill
On 3 points are: pauline4ward and x-ray
On 2 points are: beejay1124, JIMjools, roslyn251254 & Strix
Single-pointers are: Brenden, jobjockey, kawakiri, teacher1, ulysses100 wickedtongue.
I am now off with a blow-torch to melt an entry into the Ice Castle and torture the Queen of Ice into handing out lots more points next weekend.
Will I be successful? Tune in on Saturday to find out.
Happy linking evetone.
