Notes
Scotland Yard Ian Stewart, Kevin Caron, Mike Gerdov, Pascal Werlberger, Stephan Reebs It's Alain's turn to be the criminal, and he has no more success than the rest of us did.
Fearsome floors Ian Stewart A very close contest. Pascal is all poised to win but in a last second tactical move Ian sacrifices his third man to divert the monster, who keeps going and gobble up Pascal's winning candidate. Then Ian brings his second man in just before Alain.

Notes
Wingspan Mike Gerdov A close contest between Pascal, Stephan, and Ian, with 59, 61, and 62 points respectively ... except that Mike crushes us all with 88 points. He films birds, and builds feeders for birds, and wins with birds!
