    I have no idea of the scoring. I thought you have to avoid the Sheep answer.

    Get the best 2 and avoid the 3rd is my understanding, though it's taken me to now to see this

    You have to avoid getting all 3 sheep. Preferably you want top, second and fourth answers.

    I underestimated how much the bonuses would be. I intentionally went for two obvious and one obscure answer in order to avoid the punishment, knowing that it would likely mean I also wouldn't get any bonuses

    Clearly that was a poor strategy

    Likewise, but who would have thought Louth would ace and we had so many heathens on here that bodrhan aced as well.
