I assume that the blue meeple is not a big meeple and the yellow meeple is placed on road.

- Meepledrone: Correct. No large meeples where involved in this winding and tunneled question...
- Meeple Mole: Finally we, the Meeple Moles, can claim we pushed the limits of road connectivity underground and overground!  O0
- Dorothy: Did you build the bridge yourself?
- Meeple Mole: Certainly! Of course! Do you like it?
- Dorothy: Er... Yes, yes, the views must be terrific...
- Meepledrone: And the monks below must be overjoyed... So peaceful spot... So shadowy...  ;)
- Meeple Mole: I'm as happy as a hobbit...

- The Grinch: Hi there, Gingerbread Man!
- Gingerbread Man: Don't talk so loud, please!
- The Grinch: We missed you on day 16. What happened?  >:D
- Dorothy: He's been partying for a week!  >:(
- Gingerbread Man: Shhhh!
- The Grinch:  I see... You are lucky we filled in for you and nobody noticed. The Snowman did a great job and we followed suit!
- Gingerbread Man: I won't miss my next turn. I promise! :-[
- Lion: (approaching with Tin Man) Hi there, My People!
- The Grinch: Hello officer! What brings you here?
- Lion: I'm taking the suspect into custody to the German castle.  C:-)
- Tin Man: (to the other meeples) Oh, please, help me! I'm innocent!
- The Grinch: Sorry my sense of justice is a bit rusty these days!
- Dorothy: Don't be so soft on him! He is a criminal!
- Lion: No presumption of innocence in Kansas, right?  ???
- Dorothy: What's that? (to Tin Man) The Pencil Sharpener of Death is too good for you!
- Lion: (faints) :o
- Gingerbread Man: Come on, run for your life!
- Tin Man: I can't. :(
- Dorothy: Don't move! You'll be reduced to shreds for Christmas!  >:D
- Gingerbread Man: Plead for mercy to the Wizard of Carcassonne. Hurry, no time to lose!
- Tin Man: (running away) :'(
- Dorothy: (to The Grinch) And you should toughen up! Let's see what question you had for today!  >:(
- The Grinch: :o



Question #19: The Grinch completes this road. How many points does Red scores if the Fairy was placed next to the meeple this turn? The Fairy was by the scoreboard previously.

- Meepledrone: Well, Dorothy, what do you think of all this?
- Dorothy: (with a distracted French accent) Pardon ?
- Gagoune: Ahem... que pensez-tu de tout cela ?
- Dorothy: Je suis tellement heureuse. Je pensais ne jamais quitter le Kansas et maintenant je voyage à travers le monde et je parle de nouvelles langues...
- Meepledrone: You are a media star now. ;D
- Dorothy: (giggling) Que puis-je demander d'autre ?  ^-^
- Gagoune: Je ne savais pas que tu parlais français.
- Dorothy: Me neither...  :o

Later...

- Meepledrone: Hey, Gagoune! I just wanted to tell you this is an incredible work.
- Gagoune: Thanks!
- Meepledrone: Do you use a Meeple drone to record everything is happening? I'm intrigued.
- Gagoune:o
- Meepledrone: By the way, please, check Day 10, third line by Dorothy...
- Gagoune: Oooops!

- Snowman: (reading) "From Russia with love!"
- Gingerbread Man: What's that?
- Snowman: An anonymous letter!
- Gingerbread Man: Who is it for?
- Snowman: For officer Scarecrow! Here... (giving letter to Scarecrow)
- Scarecrow: (mouthing while reading)
- Lion: What does it say?
- Scarecrow: (reading slowly) "The Gingerbread Man is guilty! Seize him. Yours, Baba Yaga"
- Lion: Is that anonymous?  ???
- Scarecrow: (shouting) The Gingerbread Man is guilty! Seize him!!!  >:(
- Dorothy: Oh boy! How did you reach that conclusion?
- Gingerbread Man: (stammering) I... I... I...  :o
- Lion: So you were the Tin Man's accomplice.
- Dorothy: Really, Baba Yaga? And you believe that?
- Gingerbread Man: (stammering) But... She... Wednesday...  :o
- Dorothy: (to Snowman) Where did you get that from?
- Snowman: I don't know... Someone must have left it stuck in the back of my neck while I was in my beauty freezing session.
- Lion: Let's powder it. Maybe it has some meeple arm prints on it. We have to take the letter to the lab right now.
- Scarecrow: (whispering) Are you sure?
- Lion: (whispering back) No! But it sounded very professional.
- Dorothy: You should be certain before making any accusations...
- Scarecrow: (to Gingerbread Man) In any case, do no leave town. You are a suspect now.
- Lion: (muttering) Hurry up!
- Scarecrow: Bye... Ahem... Byeeeee!

Scarecrow and Lion walk away...

- Scarecrow: What was all that about?
- Lion: The letter... it's your handwriting.
- Scarecrow: Whaaaat? :o



Question #21: The Snowman places a tile that completes the road occupied by Yellow. How many points does each player score?
