    Tonight's reveal is likely to be delayed. Mammy Nitwit is flying in but her flight is delayed, so I'm not sure what time I'll be home from the airport now

    So this one hour warning is very gentle, but yet to hear from...

    Awww, welcome to Mrs Nitwit 😊

    I was in the airport this morning at stupid o'clock and it was absolutely bedlam. Hope it's a bit better this evening 🤞

    Answer gone in, for what it's worth (and hopefully in time)..... my only challenge left at this stage is to stay off the bottom of the page 😭 - and I was so proud of myself getting up near half way at one point!

    Big spread of scores, with a nice ace for jluv




  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    Which means a joint lead going into the final day. Guiri has a lifeline though, so Barna will really need an ace tomorrow

    Final question, and we go back to where we started with a geography picture round

    Question 24: name one of the cities from the Christmas markets below...

    It's been great (well, there have been highs and lows 😁 ). Thank you for all your work and for including our little forum. Have the loveliest Christmas, @Electric Nitwit. 😊



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    Thanks all, glad you liked it 🙂


    ...oh, and one hour warning for @HeidiHeidi 😋



  • Registered Users Posts: 26,470 ✭✭✭✭ HeidiHeidi


    Sorry, sorry - holding up the show again!

    First one i haven't had a bulls notion of a single one!!

    Great series, EN - well done!!

    Happy Christmas 🎄 to one and all!



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    Today's answers...

    Cologne, London, Vienna, Edinburgh

    Prague, Galway, Bruges, Manchester

    Every answer was given (and a few wrong ones!) and there were two aces... was one Barna?!



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    Let's see the top of the table. Guiri played his lifeline, so has a final score of 94. Only Barna could match that, and only with an ace...


    Barna's guess today was Edinburgh, which was correct....










    ...but was also given my MutleyBoo and Necro!



    Which means the winner of the 2022 FoG Advent Calendar is guirienespana, congratulations!



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    Here's the full answers. Perhaps predictably, London is the sheep.

    It's Neowise and DejaBoo who ace. Extra glory to Deja who didn't use her lifeline!




  • Registered Users Posts: 9,177 ✭✭✭ Electric Nitwit


    So here's our final table. Guiri and Barna are the top two, and DvB rounds out the podium positions.

    Butty takes a truly unassailable wooden spoon!

    Thanks for hosting! Was a great game! Fair play for the work you put in! Happy Christmas 🎄

    Only noticed the final standings on this now, surprised I finished as high as I did, last time I had checked I was mid table...

    Look forward to this again later in the year.
