I think Lithuania, Germany and Romania were doing musical chairs in the leader's box in the last few rounds

They scored 2 points from @Wanderer. Although Romania still could catch the leaders too, I think everyone discounted them because no one could ever imagine Wanderer voting for Inna

Missed victory by a single point at TISC Open 2015.... Lithuania came from 1 point behind to win it by 1 point in the last round of voting.

The Halloween tradition of trick or treating goes way back here to Celtic times. Obviously not kids looking for candies . But for more simpler things like nuts, and fruits from the harvest. Halloween is thought to have its roots in the ancient Irish Celtic festival of Samhain. https://www.newgrange.com/samhain.htm
