Yes, brains are melting. Not sure if it's the questions or the fever though. Hmm... Is the Grinch capable of causing the flu?

(Despite the flu, still enjoying this quiz/the discussions. )

- Chanchito: Get well soon!
- Santa Claus: Does the quiz alleviate the symptoms? Really?

- The Grinch: Brains melting? Sounds good!
- Snowman: Well, I hope that everyone comes relaxed from yesterday's question.
- Santa Claus: Are you posting something complicated?
- Snowman: Don't think so.
- Santa Claus: Let's see what the participants think!
- The Grinch: They will complain about anything at this point...
- Chanchito: Looks really nice!
- Snowman:


Question #7: The Snowman places this wonder tile on Blue's behalf. The player has the following questions:
a) Can Yellow send their meeple on the road to the Coiners quarter in Leipzig? (1 point)
b) Can Blue send one of their meeples on the road to the Wainwrights quarter in Leipzig? (1 point)
c) Can Blue score the Stonehenge bonus this turn? (1 point)
d) Consider moving to Leipzig all the meeples possible according to questions a) and b). How many points does each player score in this case? (1 point)

Notes:
* No additional meeples are placed.
* This question only uses normal meeples. No large meeples were used.
* This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.
* We are expecting the scoring to be performed according to the C3 rules. Please indicate if you apply the rules of any other edition.

No offence, Meepledrone, but Question #5 seems really flaky due to that stray red highwayman. Have you planned it to be like that since the very beginning? Or maybe you have you been fooled by the Grinch, too?

P.S. How does Chanchita looks like, if I may ask?

- The Grinch: Ha ha ha! Love it!
- The Grinch: You never forgot to score a feature completed by someone else or the fairy in a game?
- The Grinch: How would you resolve the issue?
- The Grinch: This is a maaaaarvellous case for you all to enjoy!
- The Grinch: Mwahahahahaha!

- Mepledrina: That was a nasty question, right?
- The Grinch: Our participants deserve the best of the best!
- Gingerbread Man: I agree, but sometimes it may be too much.
- The Grinch: Too much? Too much? Let me tell you...
- Mepledrina: Don't bother! You are always pushing the envelope!
- Mepledrina: They all envy and hate you for that...
- Mepledrina: No news from...?
- Gingerbread Man: Not a peep...
- Mepledrina: OK. I will check those stacks of fan expansion tiles over there...
- Gingerbread Man: Bye!
- Gingerbread Man: OK. Where were we? Ah, yes!... something more relaxing for a change, ok?


Question #6: The Gingerbread Man places this tile on Red's behalf. The city is scored first. How many total points will have each player after this turn? (1 point)

Notes:
* This question only uses normal meeples. No large meeples were used.

So to be clear, we should assume that this road was completed this round and score accordingly?

- Chanchito: Yes! Please, do as if it was completed this turn.
- Chanchito: This may happen in any game...
- Chanchita: Those cute meeples left behind also deserve all our love too.
- Chanchito: Hi, Chanchita!
- Chanchito: So good you stopped by!
- Chanchita: Ahhh! Thank yoooooou!
- Chanchita: Are you enjoying the quiz?
- Chanchito: Ah, yes! Very much!
- Chanchito: A bit tricky at times so far, but I'm having lots of fun!
- Chanchita: I see... Ha ha ha!... That little naughty red meeple is driving the participants crazy...

why is the red meeple in the top left still in place on the road even though it is already completed?

- The Grinch: On noooo!
- The Grinch: Ooooopsss!!!! You got me!!!!
- The Grinch: Mwaahahahahaah!
- The Grinch: Maybe "someone" forgot to score "something" from a previous turn and has to catch up!
- Chanchito: Why did you do that?
- The Grinch: Being sooooooo evil is really rewarding!!!
- The Grinch: You see? My wrinkles get greener than ever with the thrill!
