If you work it out, the 1's would have 4 turns as a first couple and 3 turns as a second couple. 5's would have 4 turns as a second couple and 2 turns as a first. 2's 3's and 4's are similar. So actually it is reasonably fair for everyone. > If the number of couples reach 7 they have no chance. Have a 3 and a 4? Jan
