Q6 - you didn't have to be there to know the answer to this one as this particular gaming event was covered in some detail on the forums by those who were there. I quite liked the idea that the four of them stuck to the same colours throughout the day, and naturally I was keen to ask who the blue player was? This link reveals that the :blue-meeple: was Curt194.

Happily, question 7 was the first question since question 1 where there were no incorrect answers! The wonderful forum member who helped me get hold of a special piece of jewellery for my wife's birthday this year was: ny1050220 (link).

Q8 was another easy one, and another question for which there were no incorrect answers. I think I've seen it mentioned in a couple of places on the forums, but he's usually a fairly safe bet when it comes to winning stuff anyway! The winner of the Carcassonne "Action Quiz" at the fan-meeting in Essen was: MrNumbers! (link - and scroll down to the final photo in Benny's post)

This is all I'm going to have time for this evening but I'm glad to be a third of the way through the answers already! Hopefully I'll manage another 8 tomorrow and then we'll see after that...

Question 9 caught a few of you out, even though I hadn't really intended it to be a trick question! As far as I can tell, there was only one forum member who needed four complete sets of Corn Circles 1 tiles replacing and this was: Elfew (link).

Question 10 was possibly my favourite question of the whole quiz. As with the previous question, it was supposed to be difficult but I did inadvertently trick a few of you into providing incorrect answers...

I referred back to February when Decar helped a new forum member named It_sme design some special meeples and a brand new expansion for her boyfriend. I asked who the lucky boyfriend was, and as is revealed in this post, the answer is: SRBO!

After two tricky questions I ended up going back to a nice, easy one for question 11. Everybody got this right so it won't come as a surprise to anyone to know that is was Jéré who represented France and finished 20th in the Carcassonne world championships! (link) 8)

Q12 was an easy one if you knew how to find my "Spare Bits Giveaway" thread. Halfway down the first page was this post from yimhj claiming my set of Tunnels (well spotted!) and offering a set of Besiegers in exchange...

You should definitely get some better icecream if you need a toilet break that soon after eating it!

Question 14 was another of my favourites as I really enjoyed going through the topic in question again, reading about everything that everyone gets up to when they're not playing Carcassonne. I didn't get any incorrect answers to this question so it won't come as a surprise to anyone to learn that it was stalcupojoy who released "Runaway Clay" (link).

I'd never heard of "pathtags" until I started reading about them on the topic behind question 15. Now I'm lucky enough to own one of these unique Carcassonne pathtag tokens and I think they're really rather neat. But who was behind them? dirk2112 of course (link)!

Question 16 was about Carcatronn's "Ice Meeple", or more particularly, who arranged for a small group of us to purchase these and split them into 140 piece sets. I can think of few people other than Decar who would be prepared to go to this much trouble on behalf of a bunch of fellow Carcassonne fanatics (link) (which is handy, because this was the correct answer)...

It's question 17 and it's our photo round! I wished I'd included more photos as this seemed like quite a fun question. If you didn't recognise him from the photo, there was enough in the question to easily track down the correct thread and find this photo. But who posted it? Why it was jungleboy of course (link)!
