Biggest Sheep of the night thus far but perhaps not a hugely surprising one; the incomparable Madame Curie.
I thought perhaps Betty Williams might score a bit higher, given her recent passing; perhaps she may have done were it not for Covid-19 overshadowing pretty much every other item in the news.
We have two Aces in this round; well done to bolgbui41 and Green&Red for their excellent answers.
It's not good news for Skippy, however, as they make a sprint towards the wooden spoon.

Lots of new people round for these games
Ye should check out werewolf, basically the backbone of forum games, games typically run over 4-5 days but there is one night game happening this Friday, check it out here
Its very easy to play but like Peehs its harder to explain than it is to actually play
The one on Friday would be a great intro to anyone curious about it. It's not a 4-5 day game, it'll all be done over the course of one evening. If you've ever wondered, then what better time to try when you can't go out anyway
Never mind, just realised that one has reached capacity. Watch out for the next one though.0 -
And now we move to:
7. TIME Magazine's Women of the Century
All of these women have been named in TIME Magazine's "Women of the Century" list, published in March 2020
TOP ROW:
Corazon Aquino: Filipino politician. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 1986.
Sinéad O’Connor: a.k.a. Shuhada' Sadaqat. Irish singer-songwriter and Pope-photo-ripper-upper. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 1993.
Marilyn Monroe: American actress and pop culture icon. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 1954.
Princess Diana of Wales: British royal and philanthropist. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 1987.
BOTTOM ROW:
Greta Thunberg: Swedish environmental activist. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 2019.
Frida Kahlo: Mexican artist. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 1938.
Oprah Winfrey: American businesswoman and media personality. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 2004.
Hillary Clinton: American senator and former Democratic nominee for President. TIME’s “Woman of the Year” for 2016.
We have another double-digit Sheep in this round, but with so many high profile ladies which one will it be?0 -

Corazon Aquino is arguably the most difficult answer to get here, and in the end nobody got it; Collie D admirably took a swing but didn't quite hit (I doubt very much Imelda Marcos would like being mistaken for the woman who played a large part in bringing down her husband's regime!
)
What I thought was the second most difficult answer here....is the Sheep! Because that's how this game often works.

Green&Red's shallow approach of judging by looks serves him well...for now, at least! He keeps his place at the top while Collie D catches up with Skippy44 in the spoon race.
