When I was thinking about this last night, I realized that there are some pairs of letters that are very helpful, as with tt. I'll let this run a bit longer, then tote it up. |

OK, here's the tally:
Daithi - 15 points Sneaky - 14 Bilbo - 9 Bookpossum - 8 poohbear - 6* orlok - 6* *for fairness, as s to lengthen a word was against the terms Daithi is ahead and thus gets to set the next question. Please don't hold it against me if I miscounted somewhere! |

Here is something different, and if you know art it should be easy. There are ten paintings shown below. The first to tell us the artist gets 1 point per correct artists. The last images are sculptures and a bit harder. These two images are worth 5 points each.
Painting #1 Painting #2 Painting #3 Painting #4 Painting #5 Painting #6 Painting #7 Painting #8 Painting #9 Painting #10 Sculpture #1 Sculpture #2 |

Paintings
1. Degas -- orlok 2. Gauguin -- orlok 3. Van Gogh -- orlok 4. Hopper -- orlok/Issy 5. 6. Monet -- orlok 7. Mucha -- Issy 8. Picasso -- orlok 9. Pollock -- orlok 10. Cassatt -- Issy Sculptures 1. Hirst -- orlok 2. As Issybird said, "Orlok was all over this one." He's clearly already won the challenge, but there are a couple open spots, Painting #5 and Sculpture #2. I'll give you a hint on the sculpture. It is done by a husband and wife team. I've seen their artwork in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston -- very cool.

Not so hot on sculptures, particularly the more modern artforms... Can't even think of a husband and wife team .
