Is red 3rd meeple stuck into question 8.5?

[Bumsakalaka]

Hmm, I think this is easy one

[Meepledrone]

- The Grinch: Where is that lazy meeplehead hiding away?
- Chanchito: Something must have happened to him...
- The Grinch:  Don't care. He deserves it probably!
- Meepledrina: Excuse me?
- The Grinch: Oh! Oh! Trouble approaching!... Ahem! Ahem!
- Meepledrina: I heard you...
- The Grinch: And you know I looooove trouble!
- Meepledrina: If you are trying to win my favor, you are way way wrong!
- The Grinch: Who says I'm trying?
- The Grinch: (picking up an imaginary phone) Hello? Hello?...
- The Grinch: Ah, Yes!
- The Grinch: (whispering) I have to go... This is important!
- The Grinch: (covering the speaker of the imaginary phone) By the way, yesterday's question was really good!
- Snowman: Thank you!
- The Grinch: I really liked it...
- Snowman: So shall I have your respect now?
- The Grinch: No. Why?
- Snowman: Arggggh! You are incorrigible!
- The Grinch: I know... I'm always right!
- The Grinch:  Ah!... The calll!... (trotting away) Byeeeee!
- Snowman:
- Meepledrina:
- Santa Claus: Ho ho ho! I'm back with a new question.
- Chanchito: Ooooooh!
- Chanchito: Looks like fun!
- Chanchito: Can I try it?
- Santa Claus: Be my guest!


Question #12: Santa Claus places this tile on Blue's behalf adding a tollhouse token. The player has the following questions:
a) How many points does each player score? (1 point)
b) Which tollhouse tokens have to be flipped over at the end of this turn? (1 point)

Notes:
* The little buildings will be scored applying the variant rules.
* This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.

the top tiles are moderately visible, we assume two tiles with bandits

[dirk2112]

Can you collect tolls from peasants during a revolt?  They are sort of a group of travelers.  Same with the folks holding up the 20th anniversary flag. 

Tolls should be free during the holiday.  My state does it during Memorial Day and Labor Day (when nobody needs the toll roads)

- Santa Claus: Yes, you are right. They are highwaymen symbols.
- The Grinch: But, why do you help them?
- Santa Claus: You know... I cannot shake this Christmas spirit!
- The Grinch: Lame!!!

- The Grinch: This is getting interesting!!!
- The Grinch: I need a popcorn bucket!

[Paloi Sciurala]

No matter the dragon, the tower, the catapults, the ghosts, the plague, the peasant revolts, or the bathhouses, you can always keep collecting tolls!

[Meepledrone]

- Danisthirty: Today we have some bets!
- Chanchita: This is so thrilling!
- Danisthirty: Let's see what our dear participants think of this question.
- Chanchita: That it is a treat, right?
- Danisthirty: Don't know... Let's see if they share their thoughts.


Question #13: Danisthity places this tile on behalf of Red. The player wants to score the most points for their bets and has the following questions:
a) How many points does each player score? (1 point)
b) Which features should Red choose to score the bets on each betting office? (1 point)

Notes:
* The picture shows the bets placed on each betting office.
* This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.
* The tile just placed does not accept bets as per the rules. 1 extra point for those who notified it in their answer before this update!




Edit: Question updated. An extra point for those who spotted the issue the fastest!

"If all roads and cities are already completed after placing the Bookmaker tile, no Bet tokens are placed."
