Ooooh! Controversial! It was 235. Which one counts, his first answer or his final choice?

There's only one way to find out ... F I G H T !!

Did I go twice? Sorry, I genuinely forgot I'd already posted when I did my second one (it's an age thing). I will abide by the decision of the Boot-setter on this one (not like I have a choice really).

Dodgier than a Crawley Town tax return.

Thanks very much for that, boris. I dunno, you set the rules as clearly as you can to avoid any arguments, make it a really simple question and then that happens…

What’s worse is that if I disqualify you for having two goes I win, if I take the average of your two goes I win, and if I take your first entry then I win.

But then again you were extremely close on your second but ‘senior moment’ guess.

Overall, I’m going to propose the following.

Snake gets 0.67 points and boris gets 0.33 points, and for being such a pain boris has to set the next question as I’m off to Eastbourne early tomorrow morning.

Thirds of points? As boot master I think an adjudication is in order. First postings count otherwise we'll have anarchy (which would be playing right into boris's hands).

Snake gets the whole point (and you don't often hear that).
