[The Statman]

Congratulations The Statman! Nobody managed to equal my answer of 13 (using only Crucible players, which I forgot to specify)!

I managed 11 using two names (Ian Graham, Mark King, Gerard Greene, Eddie Sinclair, Roy Andrewartha, Anthony Hamilton, Nigel GIlbert, Terry Griffiths, Surinder Gill, Les Dodd, David Gray) and 13 using only surnames (Werbeniuk, King, Graham, Meo, O'Connor, Read, Davis, Swail, Longworth, Holt, Thorne, Ebdon, Newbury).

So here is the scoreboard after Round 40:

Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Name

ROUND FORTY-ONE

...anyone?

[Robert602]

ROUND FORTY-ONE

Since rankings began, how many players have lost a top 16 place and subsequently regained it?

First correct answer or, failing that, the closest by 18:00 gets the point. Bonus point for a correct list of names.

[The Statman]

Now that I can do!

Steve Davis, Jimmy White (twice), Willie Thorne (three times), Tony Meo, Rex Williams, Joe Swail (Williams and Swail dipped outside the top 32 before regaining), Anthony Hamilton, Joe Perry, Neal Foulds, Marco Fu, John Virgo (twice), Bill Werbeniuk, Alain Robidoux, Doug Mountjoy, Dean Reynolds, Mark King, Dave Harold.

I'll go for 17.

[Semih_Sayginer]

18................?

[Robert602]

No correct answers yet (!)

[Alex0paul]

21???????????????????

[Robert602]

Congratulations semih_sayginer!

The correct answer, I believe, is 19, so you were closest.

If anyone wants to dispute that they may do so after this follow up round, when I give the details.

So here is the scoreboard after Round 41:

ROUND FORTY-TWO
(You saw this coming)
Name the 19 players who have regained a top 16 place. First correct answer or closest by 19:00 BST gets the point.

You may name no more than 19 players (so no posting huge lists).
