squizball... for 47 only thing I could see was Wimbledon Champions, but that seems too simple.
Thank you for the films. I had no hope there.

quizbag...cribbage scoring as I understand it is
2 points for every 'fifteen' you can make from the points value of the cards with aces counting 1 and face cards 10
3 points for a run of 3, 4 for a run of 4 and so on
I do not think you can get any more points for everything being the same suit, but I await correction on this.
So in the example give, 4, 5, 7, 8 in hand and the turn up card 6, the score would be 9.

4+5+6 =15 gives 2 points
7+8 =15 gives another 2 points
then a run 4,5,6,7,8 gives 5 points
total 9 points.
Hope this a) is correct and b) helps

Fred re; flushes in cribbage. You can score 4 points if all your cards are the same suit or 5 with the face card. However you get zilch for anything less.

Still struggling with 77, 78, 79, 80 but think I have the rest of the pictures, if I can be of any help.
No ideas at all for 68 and only wild guesses for 69.
Have answers for the rest, but sport really is not my forte, so might well be incorrect.
Thanks all.
