Hello everyone, it has fallen to me to organise the Exit Poll for #107.

Do all peruse the questions below and have a guess or several. Either copy the question or just the number and send your answers to me in a private conversation here.

I will answer and lodge my replies with jw. The poll is compulsory for CTP (HFA).


1a. Which nation will finish on top of the Unbreakable Wall?
1b. Which nation will Follow the Leader?
1c. Which nation will complete the top 3?

2. For which nation will it be Curtains?

3. To whom will the winner give their 12 points?

4. Which, if any, nations will trade 12 points?

5. Empelia has brazenly stolen Flippy’s artist. In #106 LCD came 18th with 30 points. Will LCD do better or worse…?
5a. place-wise
5b. points-wise

6. Anette took great pleasure in telling us Frida Sundemo is Swedish, and Jayne came into her own (really ) with the language for Kent’s song. Which of the Swedish acts will fare best? (Frida Sundemo - Technika; or Kent - Støkkanslåndet)?

7. The battle of the X-Factor: Niall Horan came 3rd (as part of One Direction) and Olly Murs was runner-up. Who will do better here?

8. Put the French artists in order, from highest to lowest. (Ofenbach - San Minino; Cassandre - Tildemarte; Arcadian - Jamoukovia)

9. Milton has confounded us all by sending a man (even if a woman pops up later). There are only 5 female-sung songs in the contest. How many points will he give the girls? (This one’s not for you, Genesis2703)
9a. 43
9b. between 30 and 42
9c. fewer than 30

10. How many points will Flippy give to songs not in the English language? (Not for jaylouise123)

Please send your replies by Friday 27th October at 21:00 WIM.

You put a lot of effort in it, great job, daisy!
