I think 4 hits during the game for me is my highest strike rate. What on earth will the new categories be? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,620 Posted June 4 Well don @BuffaloPhil. Probably a bit late to point out to @Bibliogryphon that I haven't been credited with the Topol hit! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commtech Sio Bibble 2,055 Posted June 4 Well done @BuffaloPhil Please can everyone ignore the fact that I didn't get a single point. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MortalCaso 1,630 Posted June 4 Congratulations @BuffaloPhil! Thank you for hosting yet again @Bibliogryphon and I look forward to the next round. ((@RoverAndOut I've always enjoyed your periodical statistical updates and I hope they continue!)) 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,290 Posted June 4 Well done @Buffalo Phil. Someone has to be second last, so it may as well be me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted June 4 As the only two-time Scavenger Hunt winner ( - for now!), a huge congratulations @BuffaloPhil! A bit of a slow burner this time, but a worthy winning hit and I'm glad it was less of a dash than the first time I picked the categories! What this does now mean is I'm likely going to have to do some Scavenger Hunt research before the summer holidays and with the Euros and a General Election taking place! And @MortalCaso thanks very much, I'm aware I need to do some updates to previous rounds (William Russell will be a hit in Doctor Who in Round 1 for a start!) and I'll keep an eye on future completists of Round 5 too! I look forward to seeing Phil's picks for Round 6 soon - and, as always, thanks to @Bibliogryphon for all his hard work. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hemlock 745 Posted June 4 Can @Commtech Sio Bibble and I get credit for scoring 0 in this game? I think that’s an accomplishment in itself. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloPhil 929 Posted June 5 Thanks all, my first ever deadpool win in one of my favourite pools. Do I now have to pick the categories for the next one? If so, get ready for some supremely unimaginative ideas! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
