    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!

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

    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?!

    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...

    Screenshot_20221224-190247_cropped.png


    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!

    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!

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

    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.

    Sorry guys, not this year 😔

    I didn't come up with any good ideas for it, and I don't think I'd have the time anyway. Also, I'm not sure we'd get that many players over in FOG these days

    Never say never, but I think it's time may have passed

    Shame that. Understand totally on the lack of time bit though.

    I just saw your post on FoG and checked here. That's a pity but real life can get in the way.

    Maybe someone here would like to take the helm?

    Yeah, when I started this I had a one year old who'd fall asleep on top of me, allowing me lots of time online

    Now I've a five year old and a three year old, the run up to Christmas is pretty hectic 😋
