dead heat
La Cieca is surprised to note that with only a day left in the spectacular Which Witch competition, there are only a few official entries, with a tie (10 correct each) between the top two contenders. It may be that your doyenne got a little cocky this time around and made the quiz impossibly difficult to solve, or (anything can happen!) perhaps the cher public have other things on their mind, e.g., Duncan Meadows‘s thing.
Anyway, here’s what La Cieca proposes. Suppose you, the public, select three of the 13 Ulricas you are having particular trouble identifying, and your doyenne will supply longer excerpts of each singer to facilitate the identification a little. In order to level the playing field entirely, those of you who have already submitted an entry in the contest will have the option of offering another guess. From this point, though, only one entry per email address will be considered.
All right then, which of the 13 Ulricas would you like to hear more from? You may vote for up to three. The poll will finish at 10:00 pm tonight and La Cieca will post the longer excerpts for the three you choose later tonight. The contest as a whole will still finish at midnight tomorrow, Halloween night, October 31.
It was an awfully difficult one. On first listen I knew only one for sure (it is basically impossible to mistake Madame Anderson) and 2-3 others with some confidence. I’ll be curious to see who’s what.
I have to say that it was difficult for me, but that is not a complaint, it gets the juices flowing.
I have spent several days doing research and going though my collection….
Caro La Cieca: That is very nice of you.
