RoverAndOut 4,756 Posted September 7, 2020 First error has popped up in Nobel Prize Winners @Bibliogryphon - I think Chilean Way has 6 picks and Dying Probably only 4, is one a typo? Sorry, first two categories were bang on! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a good start for my chances of winning this with unique picks. Considering that my "Random Yugoslav from 1950" pick didn't manage to be unique, I wouldn't be confident of getting two more from the remaining two categories. Just have to hope that no-one else has heard that Olivia Newton-John has cancer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,639 Posted September 8, 2020 Basically, I decided to go for the "get one in each category" ploy. Unfortunately so did a lot of other people, negating it as a tactic. This will be won by a three uniques player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,756 Posted September 9, 2020 If it makes people feel better, I'm pretty sure I've failed to get 3 unique picks in total on either of the first two games and still have a win to my name! This game is really unpredictable. In other news, if the turmoil continues have we all missed a potential success in the Nobel winners..?

Bibliogryphon 9,653 Posted September 10, 2020 Well this is awkward. I haven't finished getting the teams on the field of play and Dame Diana Rigg ups and leaves. Congrats to @chilean way & @YorkshireBanker Not a unique so still four away from victory but points on the board. I have updated the scoreboard on the first page. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
