Thanks again Meepledrone, my answers sent: on the back of a postcard.
If you're on the fence about taking part, it's well worth giving these puzzles a go!
A couple of real head scratchers... I'm looking at you halflings & castles
And a couple of solid puzzles that aren't so open to interpretation

Question #2:
The
Snowman
has completed this crowded city. How many points does each meeple score?
Answer #2
:
*
Blue
does not score points.
*
Red
scores 12 points
*
Green
scores 0 points
The tower is a separate feature from the city so the
blue
meeple on top is not actually placed in the city with the other meeples.
Red
and
Green
share the city but red meeple is on top of a hill so it has the majority. As a result, only
Red
scores the city.

Question #3
:
Santa Claus
wants to know how many points
Red
would score at the end of the game. Can you help him?
Answer #3
:
Red
will score 6 points.
The road has 6 tiles and an inn. Since it is incomplete, the road would score 0 points at the end of the game. However, the Mage on the road gives you a 6-point bonus (6 tiles x 1 point each.) Don't get misled by the tile with the bridge; the tile can only be counted once.

Question #4
:
Danisthirty
is enjoying his Christmas tea while closing this road. How many points does
Red
score?
Answer #4
: There are two possible solutions here depending on the rules for Halflings:
* C1 rules (updated version in 10/2015): 2 triangle tiles in a square space = 2 tiles
* C2 rules: 2 triangle tiles in a square space = 1 tile
It seems not everybody knew about this post where HiG clarified and updated the rules for Halflings for C1:
http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2125.msg29727#msg29727
But later, HiG provided clarifications with additional changes for C2 (overriding the latest rules for C1 and returning to the original ones from 2014):
https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=5021.msg74239#msg74239
So we will consider both rules versions valid.
C1 Halfling rules
Red
scores 23 points (9 tiles x 2 points for the inn and 5 points for the bathhouse)
The road has 9 tiles including 2 Halfling tiles, which are counted separately.
Red
scores 2 points per tile as the road contains one inn. So the scoring is as follows:
- 18 points for the road (9 tiles x 2 points per tile)
- 5 points for the bathhouse
C2 Halfling rules
Red
scores 21 points (8 tiles x 2 points for the inn and 5 points for the bathhouse)
The road has 8 tiles including 2 Halfling tiles in the same square space that count as one tile.
Red
scores 2 points per tile as the road contains one inn. So the scoring is as follows:
- 16 points for the road (8 tiles x 2 points per tile)
- 5 points for the bathhouse
EDIT:
Updated to cover rules updates from 2021:
* The C1 rules reflect the latest Halflings rules according to the clarifications from 10/2015.
* The C2 rules were clarified in 1/2021 returning to the original intent of the ones provided in 2014.

Question #5
: The
Gingerbread Man
couldn't help giving a try to Carcassonne Maps. In this case, he placed a tile that completes several features on the border. How many points does each player score if using the basic rules?
Answer #5
:
-
Red
scores 4 points for the monastery (4 tiles x 1 point per tile)
-
Yellow
scores 7 points for the road (4 road tiles x 1 point each + 1 road segment abroad x 1 point + 2 points for the coat of arms.) Note how the pre-printed road segment abroad with the coat of arms is considered.
-
Blue
scores 6 points for the city (1 tile x 1 segment + 1 city segments x 2 points + 1 coat of arms x 2 points.) Note how the pre-printed city segment abroad with the coat of arms is considered.
Note monastery scoring does not consider:
- Pre-printed city segments unless they are full pre-printed tiles.
- Pre-printed road segments on the border.

Question #6
: The
Snowman
is helping
Red
and
Green
to score their cities. How many points do they score?
Answer #6
:
So we will consider both rules versions valid, although I personally prefer the new ones that make more sense to me: every tile you place counts as 1 tile no matter it is a Halfling tile or a double-sized tile (German castle.)
C1 Halfling rules
-
Red
scores 10 points (4 tiles x 2 points each + 1 coat of arms x 2 points)
-
Green
scores 9 points (4 tiles x 2 points each + 1 point for the Little Building)
The Little Building only affects the Halfling tile it is placed on. It does not affect the neighbouring Halfing tile sharing the same square space.
C2 Halfling rules
-
Red
scores 9 points (3 tiles x 2 points each + 1 coat of arms x 2 points + 1 point for the Little Building) where one of the city tiles contains 2 Halflings.
-
Green
scores 9 points (4 tiles x 2 points each + 1 point for the Little Building)
The Little Building affects both Halflings as they are considered one single tile together. It affects the scoring of both cities.
Edit:
Updated to reflect latest rules for C2.

Question #7
:
Santa Claus
wanted to help these meeples lost in the labyrinth. How many points do they score if using the Labyrinth advanced variant rules? Don't forget to raise the tolls too.
Answer #7
:
*
Green
scores: 19 points (11 points for the road and 8 points for the meeples on the road network (4 meeples x 2 points each) )
*
Yellow
scores 0 points
*
Blue
scores 0 points
*
Red
scores the 12 points for the tollhouse, as follows:
- 2 traveller groups x 3 points = 6 points
- 2 sheds x 1 point = 2 points
- 2 gardens x 1 point = 2 points
- 1 farmhouses x 1 point = 1 point
- 1 highwaymen group x 1 point = 1 point
The road network is shared by
Green
,
Red
,
Yellow
and
Blue
but
Green
's meeple is on a hill. As a consequence the tie is broken and
Green
has the majority. Therefore,
Green
is the only player scoring the road network and getting the points from the meeples in the labyrinth.

Question #8
: We all know
Danisthirty
is a sophisticated guy. So he put together this scenario for you so you can tell him how many points
Red
and
Yellow
will score after completing the road. Good luck!
Answer #8
:
Red
and
Yellow
score 12 points each.
The road has 12 tiles (don't be fooled by the printed and the wooden bridges.) As the road has a inn, each tile gets 2 points. But if you thought the players would get 24 points = 12 tiles x 2 points per tile, you are completely wrong. The witch on the road halves the points and both
Red
and
Yellow
will score 12 points each. In the end, much ado about nothing.

Question #9:
The Grinch
also wants to test you... He doesn't like easy, so be ready for anything. How may points do
Red
and
Yellow
get at the end of this game?
Answer #9
:
*
Red
scores 0 points for the incomplete castle.
*
Yellow
scores 21 points for the barn.
The field with the barn contains the following:
* 1 completed besieged city (the city top right has a Besiegers tile)
* 2 completed cities (the city with the bridge touches the field with the barn)
* 1 castle
* 1 pigsty (or pig-herd) by the river elbow that is not considered by the barn.
So the scoring of the
yellow
barn would be 21 points:
* 1 completed besieged city: 8 points (4 points x 2 if besieged)
* 2 completed cities: 8 points (4 points x 2 cities)
* 1 castle: 5 points

Question #10:
The
Gingerbread Man
is back. He just completed a city and wants to know the scoring. Can you help him?
Answer #10
:
*
Red
scores 15 points
*
Green
scores 0 points
Red
scores 12 points for the city (6 tiles x 2 points + 2 coat of arms x 2 points.) Additionally both
Red
and
Green
have a meeple in the Coiners Quarter in Leipzig. Only
Red
, with a meeple in the city, is entitled to a 3-point bonus for the coats of arms in the city just completed.
The bottomline,
Red
scores 15 points (12 points for the city and 3 points for the meeple in Leipzig) and
Green
scores 0 points for the meeple in Leipzig.

Question #11
: The
Snowman
wants to test your skills with a Darmstadt church. What is the scoring resulting from completing this feature?
Answer #11
:
*
Red
scores 15 points (9 points for the Church itself + 3 points for the vineyard + 3 points for the Darmstadt church bonus).
*
Yellow
and
Blue
don't score points.
The Darmstadt church bonus goes to the player with the majority on the church tile and its adjacent tiles. The tie between
Red
and
Yellow
(2 meeples each) is broken by the
red
meeple on the hill. Therefore,
Red
gets the bonus.
This scenario only includes regular meeples. No large meeples are included.
