Looks like I will have to pull my socks up.    I don't think Heeps was chosen yet...

Maybe next round! It's a 1/3 chance each time

I was struggling with this which is one of the reasons I went with Cluedo, I was sure it was right, I did think about changing it when I saw Q5 but I'm glad I stuck to my guns (Sad and all as it is I love Cluedo when you have enough players who actually answer honestly )

Woohoo delighted with that results after two incorrects! Thank you almost all for favouring the Candlestick

Round 5 questions on famous people is now up on the sign up thread!

There are 5 resources, Sheep, Grain, Wood, Brick and Ore.

Many a player has been rendered hysterical after claiming they have Wood for Sheep!

I noticed Argos have it in the sale until the end of the month.

Did you play it safe and opt for an author with a trilogy only? Or a trilogy plus one? Or a long running 7+ parter that might never ever get finished?!

Unlucky if you opted for the Wizarding World creator here, with 14 of you losing out!

Wow I was on an anyone but Rowling roll for safety - didn't expect to ace!

I think I underestimated how many people are even on Twitter and should have upped it to 20 million, as every answer was correct (and I had to check them so I could do the PEEHS alternate scoring!) Not such a huge sheep to lose on this time…

I'd have gone Martin myself!

Lol @nothing , poor you , it's funny though

I'm not on Twitter, took a guess with mine as I remembered daughter talking about his tweets!

A wide range of scandals and their associated people, so a fairly low scoring round all round!

Mentions of a couple of world leaders, a hoover and a racist tweet!

I don't use twitter and I drew a terrible blank trying to work out who was definitely going to be on it, oh well

Blunt was *just* at 2 million, the others were way higher! I think Ronaldo was at 194 million!

8 aces here, and 10 people in teams of 2 to earn 3 points each. Aaron, Homer and Zaph miss out this time!

Question 3: Name any person famous for being involved in a scandal (to help me, please say what scandal it was too, though only the person will count as your answer)

Absolutely! I hadn't looked at Twitter beforehand to see what cut off I should use, thought that would be a decent one!

Only 4 answers for our famous people airports, which is probably of no surprise to anyone, but how many ended up with nothing for this one!?

Do you think you can name all 4 before I reveal the answers?

D'oh, Charles De Gaulle?

Well done Edser! But no bonus I'm afraid!

12 opted for JFK and ended up scoreless this round, with John Lennon Airport in Liverpool earning the bonus here.

Our final question, any actor who starred in F&F, none of which I’ve seen myself. Two SHEEP answers here means trouble for quite a few. Will it impact the final table?!

With 7 each, Diesel and Walker earn 0 for 14 players on this final hurdle. The Rock gets the bonus!
