The MM links have released relatively few points in the last two weeks. I therefore stated that I would attack the ice palace with a blowtorch in an atempt to release more points.
Unfortunately, the Ice Palace was more of an Ice Castle and I used up most of the gas canister just breaking through the outer walls. There was very little left to melt "The Ice Queen's" heart so although you can expect an increase in points, don't expect a veritable glut.
Because points may be at a premium, don't forget to play early in order to gain bonus points. On each link, bonus points only remain availavle for the following two minutes after the first discovery. It is single ponts only thereafter. Remember also that "The Ice Queen" is based in Ontario, so there may be a North American bias to her choices.
The MM Game is introduced in Quizzes & Puzzles at 8:45 Saturday morning and the links themselves follow at 9:00 precisely.
The sister game of the KM links is based on the words that Kate Mepham chooses to include in her Saturday GK Crossword in the Daily Telegraph and linked to 4 answers in the Monday Herculis Crossword. Thos game is run by Seekeerz from all the way down under in Oz.
The game is launched at 7:00am but there is no rush in this one since points here are not time dependent.
Thanks alba, usually at this time of the year it's the Auld Claret Jug, especially as the Open is in Kent, but I thought that I would use Le Tour this year, due to my son's affinity with France.
