[Spikey]

Know I'm right: 2,4,5,6,8, 9. Guesses 10, 7, 1. No idea 3.

 

[Spikey]

well 1 is kinda a guess. I'm guessing whether it's a record or not

 

[Furball]

Need a tie breaker from you

 

[Dan]

Know I'm right: 2,4,5,6,8, 9. Guesses 10, 7, 1. No idea 3.

Confident on 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.
Got 3, 9 and 10 wrong.
Hoping for 1.

 

[Furball]

Still got 4 people who need to give answers, you've got until 6pm BST tonight.

 

[Eds]

I thought this one was much easier in terms of guessing if you didn't actually know the answer.

 

[Himannv]

Ugh, forgot I had to answer questions. Really dislike this bit.

 

[Furball]

Awaiting answers from Himmanv and Cabinet96. Just a reminder that as I'm running this over the weekend for Jake, you've got just over an hour to get your answers in.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Being a bit harsh on them Furbs.

 

[Eds]

Being a bit harsh on them Furbs.

How?

They've had longer than the 24 hours they usually get, and they've both been online and had the opportunity to send the answers in.

 

[Cabinet96]

Doing the answers now.

 

[Cabinet96]

Sent. Hopefully I get lucky with most of my 'Educated guesses'.

[Agent Nationaux]

At least I beat Himannv.

 

[Eds]

Ah, got 9 via guess. Awesome.

6 was an educated guess as well, I suppose.

 

[Cabinet96]

For some reason my gut just new question 6 was Queensland.

I'd also like to say my answer for question 1 was a valid answer, as it is in fact true.

 

[Furball]

My answer for question 1 (most sixes) is also correct, but as it's not the answer Jake has emailed me, I'm counting it as wrong.

 

[Cabinet96]

We wuz robbed...
