The definitions for liripoop are below. I received 2 or more entries with a common theme, but I decided that since the the themed entries were sufficiently distinct from each other and the real answer, and that the total number of entries was fairly low, I would publish them as received.

Answers as posts by 9:00 Friday Morning British Summer Time. (8:00 GMT, 03:00 Eastern Time). I then hope to get the
results and new challenge up by Friday lunchtime.

Good Luck, Rod (Even I can't make up my mind and I supposedly know the right answer)

OK, someone has to start, so I shall go with no. 10 since I find it hard to believe any of the others could be it.

I must agree with you, so ten it is.

Ten? That couldn't be it. Don't Trinidadians have five fingers? I think I'll go with the one that has extra appendages, not missing ones. Yep, chalk me up for number 4.

Although it reeks of deception, I'll go for number 1. Merry Christmas, to whomever I'm donating points... (I'm voting on creativity here.)

I'm choosing 4 (four) because it's just so worthless and I seem to remember rejecting this word as being too worthless for words.

ooooooooooh, max -- there is that third dreadful option....

10

no 6 please (said with no conviction)

I haven't a clue, so I'll choose 11 on the basis that I like the number...

Clueless, I may have thrown in with the tide for four, except that Max is there. So I'm takin' 7, mates!

Edit: Oops, Max!...I meant 4, it was late! Maybe this is an omen of changing luck?

Number 6 does sound familiar so I'll go for it.

Bingley

No one has picked 12, have they? So that will be my choice...
12

As I have been singularly unsuccessful so far, i shall join Max on no. 4
