    Reveal incoming...!

    I think yesterday scared people low, the median answer was just 13

    Shelly and Strawbs got the most scared, after both being very high yesterday, both went for 1 today

    Duffman takes maximum points alone, but a good few score well. Spook and Hyblaeus got a bit carried away and lose points. khalessi, Barney and 2D were very close to the correct answer, but don't score well :o

    Actually, no :p

    I like the spread of scores today. When I designed it I didn't anticipate so many large negative scores like on some other days, who knew how crazy some of you were? :pac:

    Wait til the family finds out that I'm 30 points behind Mother of 4.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Another step up the leaderboard :)

    Providing I carry on like this and have no slip-ups, I could come 30th.

    I'm pleased my strategy of sticking with yesterday's answer paid off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,814 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    Shelly and Strawbs got the most scared, after both being very high yesterday, both went for 1 today

    In the immortal words of Alanis Morissette... "I'm brave but I'm chicken sh!t" :D

    Everyone's in :)

    So, today's answer is 28
    Linky-link


    So a good bit higher than yesterday. But did yesterday scare everyone into going low? :D
    It definitely did!

    That website is quite cool, for example there are 28 places called Santa, but I won't milk this question any more!

    Doesnt make any difference to median scores but that site doesn't list Bethlehem Town Land in West Meath
    Bethlehem has an area of:

    792,117 m² / 79.21 hectares / 0.7921 km²
    0.31 square miles
    195.74 acres / 195 acres, 2 roods, 37 perches
    Nationwide, it is the 35647th largest townland that we know about

    Within Co. Westmeath, it is the 767th largest townland
