Those questions are fearsome, haven't a clue about most of them. My answers will be guesses!

Have just seen the questions,eeeeek - my question - is it too late to leave the forum and go find a crochet one? ?? Lol Kunuma. Yep they are very stiff this year. I must have been in a really bad mood about something when I came up with them! Just to show I'm not really that nasty I will make the specialist questions easier. It's worth trying a few guesses - there are a few questions where a stab in the dark may yield the odd point...

Yikes! They were hard this year! Just pm'd my answers....a few were guesses, a few I couldn't even come up with a guess!
Dying to know the answer to 15....ponies and ice skating! I suppose it's not really any more odd than ponies and ballet, and that's turned up often enough.

Thanks for everyone who has sent answers in. I will reply tomorrow as only have net on phone at the mo asnd its too small for m,e to see properly lol. I hope no-one has been scared off by the questions. But it is mastermind not supposed to be easy. Saying that, there are quite a few I couldn't have answered myself off the top of my head!

Thanks to all those who have sent in answers. If you haven't done so could you please send them in by the end of the week. I know they are hard questions but don't let it put you off as it's a 2 round comp and you can pick up loads of points in round 2 if you make sure you know your sepcialist subject well!
Anyhow here is the 'leader board' at the moment, very close with less than 5 points between the these three:
POSITIONS SO FAR:
1st Susan 2nd Haffy 3rd Fizz
Well done!

Well I am lying third and I was only sure about three of the answers. That gives a good indication of their severity, some lucky guesses based on lateral thinking.

Post by haffyfan on Nov 27, 2015 11:42:49 GMT 1
Yes some lucky guesses on my part too and a spot of luck with a couple of questions being centered around books i have enjoyed.

Well actually I should be able to get everyone's questions up except Rosie's by tomorrow. I've just about done all the questions except for The Outsider as I am having to borrow a copy, having mislaid mine! I'm sure she won't mind having to wait a day or two longer - I'll give you an extra couple of days to send in answers Rosie I really am sorry about the delay folks, you wouldn't believe everything thats been going on here all at the same time

Hello all, got everyone's answers in thank you! Now I just have to persuade my creaking old brain cells into working long enough to tot all the points up. Should have everything worked out by tomorrow if you can all manage to last out that long without the anticipation killing you lol. I can say though that I think it's the closest Mastermind we've ever had!! BTW thanks to Kunuma and Darkhorse for pointing out this year's deliberate mistake....

Hi again everyone, here are the results of the 2 rounds and the overall positions: ROUND 1 - GENERAL KNOWLEDGE1st - SUSAN 2nd - FIZZ 3rd - HAFFY ROUND 2 - SPECIALIST SUBJECT1st - FIZZ 2nd - KUNUMA 3rd - DARKHORSE And finally the overall positions for the competition are (drum roll....) :1st MASTERMIND CHAMP 2015 - FIZZ 2nd SUSAN & KUNUMA (joint) 3rd HAFFY & DARKHORSE (joint) 4th TRIXIEPONY 5th ROSIE Very well done to all, especially Fizz who becomes our Mastermind Champ for 2015. As you can see it was a very close competition and everyone did extremely well considering it was the stiffest I have ever made the comp. Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed setting it up. Although I gave the answers to round 2 out individually I'll also add the answers to the specialist subject thread in case anyone fancies a go at doing other people's specialist subjects. That reminds me Haffy, which question on the Woodbury subject were you puzzled about?
