Spring Quiz No.2

[ellicat]

OK. Same rules as last time with a change to the clue times.

Rules from last time -

I will give clues of a particular fish (or more) three times a day at 8am, midday and 6pm.

Members PM their answer to me.

I will update this thread with the number of correct and total answers.

I will PM back the correct 'answerers'.

If you are incorrect you can have another guess three hours after the time the PM was sent.

You can enter no more than once per 3 hours to a maximum of 3 times per day.

After I have 6 correct answers I will notify in the thread and introduce a different fish (or other).

Only the 6 that guessed the first fish will be eligible to guess that fish (or other).

The process will continue, reducing the number of eligible entrants by 2 each time.

No Latin or Greek Answers. No Elops (sorry Steve) .

The winner of the final will be sent a small prize depending on the type of fishing they do or a $20 BCF voucher or whatever I can organize. The big prize will of course be bragging rights.

Remember, having a guess is free

PM sent Brian although I suspect I'll need more turns to get it. Cheers.

[ellicat]

Score so far -

6/19

[Terry H]

Minor technicality - Does the "(or more)" in "fish (or more)" expand the species outside the fish species to include crustaceans, mammals, reptiles etc ?

Just thinking of the crabs from last round

[ellicat]

Correct. "or more/other" means more/other than fish, so allows crabs, seahorses etc.

I will keep it fishy though and not do a dog, cow, cat, horse etc

[ellicat]

Clue 4.

Being found down to about 100 metres, I also eat bottom dwelling (benthic) fish.
