Vanderbilt and the Yeggman. Vipers. Vigor, the Hammersmith wonder.

The final turn! The answer was Niggardly, and ( this is what happened )

Well, if anyone else wants to have a go at running the game some time in the future, I'm sure you'll be able to improve on this effort ;-) but for now that'll do I think!

The Ernie Wise one. My own question was ( as follows )

so it's all to do to catch mooism!

These are the questions for the Ernie Wise one:

( Wise before the event )

Deadline is 3pm Thursday, get voting!

The last-but-one turn, so gird your loins for a desperate final push... the answer is:

Ernie Wise

Good luck! -- deadline for questions is 3pm Tuesday.

The answer was 39, 27, and my question was: 6,How many books are there in the Old and New Testaments of the Authorized Version of the Bible (aka "King James")?

( The details )

So we have a new leader! -- but no-one can be ruled out just yet, with plenty of time left to score heavily if you can just plug into that elusive group psyche...

Looking for the answer 39, 27, these are the questions:

( The questions and setters )

Get voting! -- deadline is 3pm Saturday 7th January. As usual, vote for the one you think is mine, and also for your favourite -- they can be the same -- and please do say which is which...
 And as last turn, anyone can guess and score points, whether or not they submitted a question.

Here's the next answer:

39, 27

Submit your suggested questions below! Deadline is 3pm Thursday 5th January.

( The details )

Halfway through the game, and it's still all to play for!

The next one, deadline 3pm Tuesday -- it's not too late to join in!

And the answer is:

The Fair

Good luck!

The "Silvester" one! It was a bit of a feeble answer in hindsight, sorry about that... ah well, we live and learn. These were the eligible players, who both submitted a question and guessed one:

al_fruitbat
bateleur
bibliogirl
jiggery_pokery
liriselei
mooism
queenortart
wimble

Mine was #4, so correct were jiggery_pokery and liriselei, plus al_fruitbat, bateleur, bibliogirl and wimble chose the equivalent #5 or #6. (And a [dis]honourable mention for nickeyb, who also chose #6 -- but hadn't submitted a question herself, so it didn't count.)

I'll retrospect this "point for choosing an equivalent one" back to cover the earlier turns, it only seems fair. But not just yet.

As for voting points, bateleur and queenortart get 1 vote each, bibliogirl gets 4 for somehow being more convincing than I am myself. (My brain cell!)

As for the People's Choice award, wimble romps home with his tribute to Victor of that ilk.

So the scores are now (with the "equivalent answer" points applied only to this turn so far):

7/2 dr_bob
3/1 nickeyb
8/4 bibliogirl
4/4 wimble
2/2 brixtonbrood
2/2 bateleur
1/1 al_fruitbat
1/1 ar_gemlad
3/4 queenortart
2/3 fractalgeek
2/4 liriselei
1/3 mooism
1/4 jiggery_pokery
