That's the idea :) Everyone who entered round 1 should get at least one point.
The only trouble is there are 17 others to find, but everyone is on the same playing field.

There is a tactic which I utilised for this round, jenga, and I will share it with you in the hope that it may help:
Random. Guessing.

Hmm, I'm not a crafty little blighter like you though. :) hehe. There were a few behind which I sort of had a bit of logic, but I dunno. :)

I thought you were about to suggest collusion :o Of course, such thoughts would never cross my mind...

I'm very impressed with the entries so far. All I'm going to say is that the highest scorer on this round so far has 9 points!

Thank you Bell, original post amended.

To clarify:
The actual submission date is Saturday 20th December for all timezones except Eastern Australia where it will be midnight on Sunday 21st December.
If anyone has unnecessarily rushed to submit their entry for this round, you may resubmit.

Sorry for the confusion. :eek:

To be fair, this round is all about random guessing. If you know some people quite well on here, then that can also help you :)

This round is now closed.

Thank you to all who have entered this round :)

Please check the answers in the original post.

Round 3 (http://www.isketchforum.net/db1986s-christmas-competition-t2893.html?p=155041) is now open :)

What do you mean "seriously?"?! He'd be a GREAT pet. I'd feed and walk him myself, and he would sleep at the foot of my bed.

I can't remember what I put, I got either 2 or 3 right though I think, including myself. :) hehe. Could be more, doubt it though.

I was quite surprised with some of the entries, especially those who got 9.
Maybe a bit unfair as it was just a random guessing round, but hey, lessons learned :biggrin:

I agree, he'd be an amazing present (and one that only Fox would ask for ;). Yay I was one of the people to get 9 right :razz: which would have to make up for me not entering Round 2 :s

* jenni939706;155056 goes and buys a pink suit for nh :D

I still only have an old one that used to be my dads and there's a hole in one of the trouser pockets.


(And it doesn't match my shoes.)
