A total of 26 of our lasses sent in their guesses. Of that there were only two people who got a perfect score. They were: Kinley (Rehnbo) and Marsali (mommaowie).
My fever riddled daughter drew Kinley of Clan Mackenzie out of the hand-knit felted cloche.
Round 2 Clan Standings:
Beauchamp: 5
Fraser: 45
Mackenzie: 75
Murray: 54
Additional awards: (for bragging rights)
Early bird: Mordag, fearless leader of Clan Murray sent her answers in twice, and still managed to be the early bird both times! Her revised submission at 4:11 p.m. On March 7 counts as her official time.
Sneaker: Edme of Clan Murray squeaked in with 6 minutes to spare at 11:54 p.m. On March 18.
Most Amusing: A tie this time with the the mother/daugther duo from Clan Mackenzie: Fiona and Kellan.
Caela of Clan Mackenzie concluded that if she could not “find” Queen Charlotte's “house” then it must be “the house next to Sirius Black's house in London!” Because, she explained, “Charlotte has successfully hidden from me!”
Knitmo of Clan Mackenzie, who wrote Queen Charlotte's “house” was “the barn” where she's woven a shawl that says Gabaldon is “Some Author.”
Best Link to Another Book in the Series: Mrs FitzGibbons of Clan Mackenzie who answered No. 7 as “The big white sow,” writing that she knew it was not an anagram for Mama Crunch Acorns. “Wrong book, cause the she's in ABOSA. But she's the only mama that crunches acorns that I could think of!”
Going for the Gold: Sassenach of Clan Fraser, who, by answering each question with a question or question mark helped her clan's overall participation.
Statistics:
26 of 49 clan members participated in the first round of the Highland Games, that's 52 percent. This round, the four cheiftesses sat out, since they sponsored the round. (We've had a couple of clan members withdraw and the 15 ladies in Beauchamp didn't participate)
