    I'm sure I'll score four 0's tomorrow to make up for terrible guesses so far 🤣🤣

    Yeah, I was pleased with how that panned out! I didn't realised the Brooklyn Bridge was so old, and I also thought the first commercial trans-atlantic flight was after WW2, but other than that I had most of them within about five years.

    And I needed to, given your score of 5 was hardly shabby!

    I actually set a quiz last year on Christmas Number Ones. This could be embarrassing...!

    This is gonna require some serious thinking.

    Raging about Croke park btw, I was sure that was early 1900's.

    Jaysus, I still haven't been found out!

    Delighted - and not a little surprised - to have dragged myself up to mid-table in the league.

    But I'm gonna say, it was nice knowing ye - I have a feeling this round might do for me (I only glanced at it briefly last night, I'm hoping it's a bit more user-friendly when I go back to actually try and answer them!!)

    Finally my experience of doing Globle every day has some real world use (probably not really)

    Absolutely no idea with the music question.. I know the songs but have no idea with if they were Xmas no ones or when.. played it relatively safe..

    Writing down the cities and general area/countries confused me more with the geography one.. I'm ok with that and think I've got the incorrects (I hope) and shorter ones so took a somewhat educated guess with that (probably going to be great or fail spectacularly)

    PS. I know where Anchorage is so wasn't caught up with that one 😂

    I'm almost the exact same as you, I've no idea on the timings of the number ones, aside from a few so just took a guess. Could score 0 could score 30 on that one

    I think I'm somewhere in the middle on the distances, shouldn't score incorrect but probably wont be pointless

    Now to wait and somehow score 0 on songs & 30 on distances 🤣

    The music one was easier for me - there was a bunch of them that were right slap bang in my secondary school days so I could roughly date them - and then I was like Brucie in Play Your Cards Right with earlier, later, earlier, later..... I'll be very interested to see how accurate my memory is all these years later!!!

    Couldn't decide if the "wrong" ones were just earlier than all the others, or not Xmas No 1s at all - so ran with them all being Xmas No 1s.....

    As for the distances - wtf knows??!! 🤷

    Answers sent. I am crossing fingers for the music ones, one of them was number 1 when I was born a few weeks after Christmas so I am hoping it was also number one at Christmas. The other one is a guess but I think it's ok. The only other songs I knew were number ones were a good bit more recently. Distance ones were a semi-educated guess but still a guess.

    With the final round approaching, I have still to decide on the final 2 boards, I have 7 to pick from. :)

    Yesterday's tactics came courtesy of @HeidiHeidi , reads a bit like a Man Utd tactic sheet!, except yours worked

    Right distance one entered, I was so bad at that one was even mixing up the places from one box to another!

    Sorry about that Kol, this is where I slide dramatically down the league table😂

    Right Christmas one entered aswell.

    Are they Christmas number ones or not, thats the puzzle!

    I can safely say I will have no pointless answers in this round😁

    Answers in after some deft and downright excellent map drawing/approximating. I'm sure it won't have steered my too wrong.

    Only halfway through - Christmas Number Ones done, though not before a RFQ moment (Read the **** Question) where I'd gone for the newest rather than the oldest...

    Distance one is a head-melter. I'd be fairly sure there'll be some surprise answers in there

    I think I went for later Christmas number ones too and guessed the distance ones, I'm out and too far down the league for it to make a difference though. 😂

    The problem with the distance one is not knowing whether or not Kol is a flat earther 😋

    That's exactly what I did when I realised the bulk of them were in the 1930s. I knew the Oscars was 1929 and obviously Titanic, so assuming worst case scenario that all the others were older, they were going to score low points.
