It might pay to put the Xavier answer before Xavi, otherwise people guessing Xavier first (like me) found themselves being award the point for Xavi instead!

I’m not sure if I get your point here. Wouldn’t switching lead to even more people getting the free answer? Anyway, I think I’ll keep both questions since it was hard enough to find 20 answers with X. And after all, a free point isn’t that bad from time to time.
