GUESS THE NUMBER QUIZ

[Tal]

Think we should stop the season here and just relegate whoever's in the bottom five now.

Incredibly, KarmaDope sells iPhones, whilst watching De Niro films, in a shop on the River Thames! Not such a good round for 4KSuited but Cf and Bunnydas8888 who are also in the bottom 5 have good rounds and could see some progress.

Incredible quiz knowledge from Karma.

celtic 86 - 105
Karabiner 39 - 152
bunnydas8888 600 - 409
nirvana 3900 - 3709

A blow up of extreme proportions by Nirvana is the highlight of the round, overshadowing good shooting by TightEnd and KarmaDope. Bunnydas8888 also won't be happy with this one and he'll be joining Nirvana in the bottom 5 no doubt.

Juperjiper 200 - 271

My hometown of Dundee all the way down to London, the other city that I've lived in, albeit briefly, is a total of 471 miles. Some trek. Ironside does a flip flop and goes from the worst answer on the first question to the best answer on this one. A lot of other scores under 50 which is good going. Not so good for Cf, 4KSuited and Juperjiper who in one way or the other underestimated the difference.

Some familiar names from the sporting board at the top after two questions with only 2 points separating the top 5. Rubbish, who was desperate for the reveal to begin, takes a 1 point overall lead. Could potentially already be a long way back for the guys in the bottom 5 who are 41 points behind the next player.

KarmaDope continues to smash it up with a 154 lead from Rubbish2407 who has been solid throughout. TightEnd and Bergeroo take up 3rd and 4th, with Sonour reclaiming a top 5 spot after a few question hiatus. Arbboy drops out of the winners' spots but, along with Ironside, he's not far behind. Again, the bottom 5 remain the same although there's some movement within them with Cf closing in on Tal and Juperjiper.

A bad round for the leader KarmaDope as he scores 5 points! An impressive amount of players scoring 5 or under on this question with Sonour (3) and Karabiner (4) the most impressive. Cf continues his bid to exit the bottom 5 with another low scoring round. Not such a good round for Stribling who could drop towards the bottom 5 and Arbboy could have put a severe dent in his top 5 claims. Shout out to Nirvana who has been performing solidly since blowing up on the Primark question.

KarmaDope extends his lead at the top with his continued impressive performance but Bergeroo and TightEnd are in a great battle for 2nd and are definitely still within striking distance of the leader. Sonour maintains a top 5 spot, with Ironside climbing back in there. Lower down the table, Tal moves up a few places and Cf notably jumps out of the bottom 5, Stribling takes his place (below Juperjiper on alphabetical goal-difference order). Ripple11 and MintTrav are solid in the middle of the standings, neither flirting with the top or bottom 5.

Footballers fill out the top 3 in the Forbes' list with Ronaldo in 2nd and Neymar in 3rd. Canelo and Fed filled out the top 5. Notably, Messi also had the highest salary (before endorsements), tied with Canelo.

8 questions in and still no slip up by KarmaDope as he wins another question. Nirvana flirts with the top spot for this question with the rest of the better performances coming from the title contenders. 4KSuited looks to be chasing Nirvana for the bottom spot.

Two questions to go and KarmaDope needs a minor blow up but question 10 in particular could be volatile. Bergeroo didn't let Ironside have his top 5 spot for long but that looks like a good battle. Bottom 5 remain the same.

He may be in the top 5 but Bunnydas8888 nails this question with Ripple11, Tal and KarmaDope (obv) also scoring very well. The plus 100 scorers maybe went with the National Lottery, forgetting the EuroMillions. Bergeroo was one of those, has he ended his top 5 dreams?!
