Clue 1
I have two things in common with last week's player (other than the fact we both play for London clubs!) |

Clue 5
I have been told that I look a lot like Stockport County's Twitter correspondent, but I don't see the similarity myself.

Time's up - it's Maccy's Doppelganger... Julian Speroni!
And that brings a close to the monopoly quiz. Let's tot up everyone's portfolios and deduct £100 penalties for any unused trades and work out our winner shall we?.... |

Everyone's final portfolios (in alphabetical order) are as follows:
Archie £960 3 trades Bradninch £780 3 trades Bringbacklenwhite £860 3 trades Down Under £1,000 0 trades (£300 penalty deducted) Dudley £760 3 trades Epworth £920 3 trades Gazza £800 4 trades Hatter in Macc £960 5 trades Market Harborough £790 3 trades Shropshire £690 3 trades
So the strongest portfolio at the end of the 3 weeks is Downy, but a failure to complete any trades means the full £300 deduction and so the final table is as follows:
1= Archie £960 Hatter in Macc £960 3. Epworth £920 4. Bringbacklenwhite £860 5. Gazza £800 6. Market Harborough £790 7. Bradninch £780 8. Dudley £760 9. Down Under £700 10.Shropshire £690
Joint congratulations to Archie and Maccy who share the prize for this quiz, and commiserations to Shropshire who really did quite well in the quiz itself, but then got hammered on his first two trades! I wish, in hindsight, I'd kept track of the trades everyone did so I could work out everyone's loss/gain in the market, but it's been a busy week at work I'm afraid. If I get desperately bored this coming week, I might go back through all my PMs to work it out, but don't hold your breath!
Thanks everyone for playing - there's something a little different starting Monday with Quiz 67. Let's just say fans of Roy Walker might enjoy it.
"It's good, but it's not right!"

Woo hoo - wasn't expecting this!
My series of trades could overall, at best, be described as mediocre, so delighted to end up with a share of the honours. Congrats also to Archie - and hard luck, Downy.
And thanks, as ever, to Sandy. Looking forward to Monday...

My tactics didn't work.
Oh well.
Stupid game.

Well done, archie/Maccy, superb effort.  Great quiz, Sandy. Even though I think my sleeping pattern means I'm going to be constantly up against it, I really enjoy these, they're a fantastic addition to this forum. You do a stellar job creating these while juggling a family and such a high pressure job, so all kudos due, mate. Keep them coming, they really are top drawer.  |

Thanks for the imaginative format Sandy. Sometimes we men of leisure forget that not everyone is able to give your quizzes the time they deserve so the trades are one way of keeping people in the game even if they have a bad week. Overall I think I made a small gain on the trades so I got a bit lucky. I was considering Downy's strategy (terrific score by the way) but in the end decided to go with the flow and it was the final trade that scrambled the final 20 points. Well done to Macca who is the moral winner if his trading went badly.

Don't be understating your win, archie, that was an impressive performance. I'm sure you earned your 'man of leisure' mantle with a lifetime of hard work, so both that and the win are thoroughly deserved, matey.You're clearly the man to beat in these quizzes, but it's bugger all to do with your status, you're just too bloody good!  Congratulations once again to yourself and Maccy. |
