And now some guessing stats! Thanks to @killabeezish for getting these together!

nicky_gabriel, I regret to inform you that your random guesses did not bear fruit this time, but I still like your style. merriman, on the other hand, managed to get 4 right by rolling the dice! (impressive) LS also got 4 right.

dswdiane and pennywashburne played it close to the vest, guessing only 3 each—but all 3 correctly, for a 100% score.

hafital got 6 right, and dkwilliams had 7 correct.

teratornis got an impressive 11 right! But was outdone by...

black_dwarf retaining the crown with 14 correct guesses!

Well done, guessers! @havocthecat, black_dwarf  and merriman also get a special prize for managing to fool absolutely everyone.
