And still we can't break the deadlock at the top, with ari101 ready to pounce just a few points behind. However Trigger will be dancing with delight as his nemesis plummets to the bottom of the table.

At last we have a sole leader as aaronjennings hits the front. And DJIMI TRARORE's slip-up could prove costly as ari101 leaps into second place.

Ah, I see where you went wrong. This is a sports sheep, you need the "things you type into pornhub when your mum's not looking sheep"

ari101

Don't think I've ever been this close to a podium!















Still loads (2) questions to make it go all wrong

3 Name one of the cities, other than Tokyo, that hosts a sumo honbasho (professional tournament) each year

You’d think with a choice of only three we’d have a fairly even spread here. Instead we have the biggest sheep of the night. How many brave souls went against the flow, and how crucial might that be to the final standings?

Not really much point in posting pics of the respective stadiums, they’re pretty unremarkable from the outside and look the same inside, so instead here’s a pic of one of my favourite rikishi (sumo wrestler), the 67th Yokozuna (grand champion), Musashimaru.

Of course, the Googlers didn't go for the most prestigious.

:eek: Second is a possibility... (so is first but I'm happy to aim lower given a fall is also possible )

2 Name one of the individual men's ski jumping competitions at the Winter Olympics

The hill on the left is a large hill, and the one on the right is very far away. For some reason they call it a normal hill, nothing normal about throwing yourself off the side of a mountain to me.

Zaph

So at the top we have what looks like a three way battle for the win between aaronjennings, ari101 and DJIMI TRARORE. While at the bottom can Ectoplasm do enough to hold off Purgative for the wooden spoon?

What I can say is that all three at the top went for the same answer, whereas the pair at the bottom both went for the other answer. But will they hold onto their positions or will someone spoil the respective parties...?

Purgative

Ooh tense

This was actually my one guess. I wasn't certain what it is called.

Dramatic scenes as right at the end both ari101 and DJIMI TRARORE fall out of the podium spots. But aaronjennings somehow hangs on while lassykk comes out of nowhere to take a share of the win. cee_jay and Trigger share third place to complete the podium.

At the other end a spectacular ace from the purple tin denies Ectoplasm the wooden spoon that they looked to have had sewn up.

Thanks everyone for taking part, hope you enjoyed it and well done to all our winners.

Congrats aaron and lassy on the win.

Great game and reveal Zaph!

Purgative

Zaph, brilliant, really entertaining even though I dislike sport.


Great comp and really entertaining reveal.

Congrats Aaron and Lassy good win

Ectoplasm

Foiled!

cee_jay

Thanks for that Zaph. Congrats to Aaron and lassykk.
Very happy with 3rd spot, especially with going for Munster over Leinster out of loyalty

Ectoplasm

Conga rats to the winners

Thanks Zaph...and see you next time Trigger

ari101

That was great fun, even if I just punched myself in the gut with normal hill

Congrats to all the podium finishers... so yeah everyone above me and thanks to Zaph for a really enjoyable game!

I continue in my search for the elusive sheep win

Electric Nitwit

A draw? No one likes a draw :mad:

Well done aaron and lassy!
Good game Zaph, good theme, well delivered. Thanks

HeidiHeidi

Yayyy..... another mid-table mediocre result..... yayyyy :rolleyes:


Well done Aaron & Purpletin! And hard luck to those getting knocked off various podiums



(didn't Aaron lead a game recently from start right through to last question only to then get robbed at the final whistle?? if so, nice karma to ya!)


(if not, whoops, need to pay more attention to names!!)

And of course thanks Zaph for a great game!

I think it took me a couple of years, keep trying

Toto Wolfcastle

Congrats aaronjennings and lassykk!

Looks like Zaph took my 'this is not a bribe' to heart when I brought him surprise dessert at 7.50. Unacceptable.

Irish Aris

Not last, I'll take it.

Congrats aaron and lassykk.

Thank you for organising Zaph!!

Congrats to The Purple Tin for an honourable showing.

I couldn't in good conscience congratulate anyone that won a SHEEP using google.

Thanks though, Zaph, for Sunday entertainment and a fun premise.
