Good morning, and welcome back.
People often tell me that my quizzes are murder - well now they really are!
After the recent (relative) success of the Monopoly quiz, here is another quiz based loosely on a popular board game - Cluedo!
Vernon the Bear has been brutally murdered somewhere inside EP and it's up to you budding sleuths to work out who killed him, what with, and where.
Over the next 5 weeks, I will give you clues to County players past and present. If you get that player right on Monday you get 5 points, Tuesday 4 points and so on as normal. However, you will also get the same number of 'cards' (chosen at random) from which you can eliminate either a suspect, weapon or murder scene.
There are 6 suspects, 6 weapons and 6 murder scenes:
Suspects
Ryan McKnight Mary Gibbons Lord Snape Mark Maguire Tony Evans Brian Kennedy
Weapons
Bootlaces SCFC letter opener Barry Conlon's unwashed jockstrap Chicken Balti Pie Plastic fork SCFC Tankard
Murder scene
Cheadle End Bar Directors Box Home Changing Room TV gantry Under the scoreboard Sapphire Suite
Throughout the 5 weeks, you can have up to 3 guesses at solving the murder. If you work out who killed Vernon, what with and where on Monday Week 1 you get 25 bonus points, then 24 on Tuesday and so on until it's just the one bonus point on Friday Week 5. If you use up your three guesses without solving the murder, you don't get any bonus points I'm afraid, so choose when to take your guesses wisely!
Because there are 15 'cards' to collect (the other three being the answer of course), those mathematicians amongst you will have worked out a score of 3 or more each week will guarantee you solve the murder by the end of the quiz - but the sooner you do so the better! I've tried to make the clues a bit easier than normal to give you all a fighting chance!
As ever, all answers via PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk please.
Ok then, off we go. |

Oh, and I've devised a clue sheet for you to keep track of what cards you've received if that would be of use to anyone? Hopefully this attachment will work:

Sorry everyone, this quiz was written a while ago and I hadn't checked it properly before starting. I'm really sorry. Ignore yesterday's clue and today will count for 4 points and so on for this week.

Morning folks,
This week's player is Anthony Pilkington.
Firstly, apologies again for messing up Tuesday's clue. I wrote this quiz some time ago and had planned for it to take place February/March time but ended up putting it back. When I normally write quizzes well in advance, I flag up any clues that are subject to change so that I know to check them before putting them on here, but hadn't banked on the season finishing before the quiz was published and Naarrrrch getting relegated. Oops.
In the end, when the mistake was realised you all got it correct on Wednesday and so I've given you all 4 points (and 4 clues) as Tuesday no longer counts. It's a sh*t day anyway.
So, not that it matters, but here's the current table with you all joint top!
1= Archie
Bradninch
Calliope
Down Under
Epworth
Gazza
Hatter in Macc
Market Harborough
Shropshire
Lennie has said he might try and join in next week when his internet hopefully gets sorted.
Thanks for playing and see you all Monday for Week 2 (hopefully Tuesday will count this week)
