Before you start
Four real Swan Island varieties a question. The first half asks which one was featured in the festival field this year - the long field everyone walks, names on their markers. Then it turns around, and you find the one that was not.
A worked round: seven questions, five of them right first time and joined into a run, one found on a second look, finishing on 41 points.
Each bloom is one question. Answer right on the first try and it earns its full value; wrong guesses lower what it's worth, never your score. Streaks add a bonus: +3 for three first-try answers in a row, +5 for five, and more for a perfect round.
