So. Ryf (40) + Skipper (5) + Cunnama (2) + Blatchford (2) + McCaulley (1) = 50. Reckon you can put together a better team than that? Eh?

Silence will obviously be interpreted as capitulation ;)

Just choose the names, I'll spreadsheet your team & your winnings... it's *THAT* easy

Here's my team:

Anyone Else (1) + Anyone Else (1) + Anyone Else (1) + Anyone Else (1) + Anyone Else (1) = 5

Hahaha thanks for playing along. On the downside the crowds stayed away, but on the upside working out the results only took 5 minutes.

And the results are in:

Gold medal: Nick2413, $40,000
Silver medal: Fruit Thief, $16,000
Bronze medal: Canuck1, $0
Special medal of unknown metal: Gregn

Best team would have been:

Frodo (25), Haug(15), O'Donnell (5) + Laura Phillip (5) = $322,500
or Frodo (25), Haug(15), O'Donnell (5) + Hoffman (5) = $322,500
or Frodo (25), Haug(15), O'Donnell (5) + Philipp Koutny (1) + Chirs Leiferman (1) = $322,500

11,000 Bleymehl (aka Anyone Else - not on your available list)
10,000 Leiferman (aka Anyone Else - not on your available list)
----------
21,000 (Gallium seems an appropriate medal metal. It's properties illustrate my game strategy quite well)
