No 'skill' at all required for this one, it's all pure guesswork and doesn't involve any knowledge of football at all!

Again, not a cascade* but best points total wins.

1pt: Will the Weymouth team arrive in a coach?

2pts: What will be the predominant exterior paint colour of that coach?(one word answers only!)

3pts: What colour will the signwriting on the rear end (not sides) of the coach be? (If more than one colour used it will be that in largest font!).

4pts: Will the coach be parked with it's front end or rear end nearest the ticket office (assuming they park by turnstile 9/10 again this season) when i arrive at about 7.40 pm?

5pts: What will be the sum of the numbers in the coach registration plate? If it's a 56 reg the answer will be 11, you don't then add the 1||1 to get 2 (I'm sure there must be a name for that but I don't know what it is ... Professor/GY/Pena?).

Most points out of 15 (not necassarily most correct answers) wins.

Tie break: Total attendance WITHOUT GOING OVER.

* Actually there is an element of cascade: if the answer to the first question is No then those correct go straight to TB.

And no, I haven't got the faintest what you might call the exercise of adding up the numbers in a sequence to make a single number is called. Sigh.

I have no desire to prove I can guess a bus livery better than anyone else can, so I'm boycotting this boot on the grounds of complete and utter irrelevance.

Hog probably collected City of Oxford Motor Company bus numbers when he was a lad: let him have his childhood memories ....

Okay, prove you actually can guess it better, but don't enter!

Seriously though, is this the first ever boycott of a Boot? If so I'm chuffed! Just wait 'til I win another one ...

Not quite but I wish I'd thought of it! As it happens I collect numbers for a living now.

According to everyone's favourite website, it's called digit summing. You'd have thought they could have come up with something a bit snappier.
