THE TWELVE BLOWS OF NOON. The riddle of the mysterious star of the 12 strokes of noon offers two specific clues. We take stock of Sylvie’s theory about it.
[Mis à jour le 29 avril 2022 à 11h41] This Thursday, Sylvie celebrated her fifth participation in the 12 noon shots on TF1. The one Jean-Luc Reichmann now calls “Mamie Sysy” continued on her way without a hitch on the show and arrived at the masterstroke stage with €10,000 in potential winnings in her personal kitty. However, she stumbled upon a question. Never mind, she still shares € 1,000 with a viewer. Sylvie’s personal pot has so far reached the sum of €27,150! In less than a week, it’s quite remarkable.
Place at the mysterious star now because Sylvie seems to have a theory. The most visible clue at the moment is this subway station decor. For Sylvie, it was up to now the London underground but, on Wednesday, she explained to Jean-Luc Reichmann that there were also red underground trains in Dubai or Chicago, which could put her on a another way. This Thursday, she proposed the name of Francis Lalanne but without success. After checking on our side, it seems to be a London station if we are to believe the symbol of the local RATP on the right of the screen but also the name, clearly visible, of the metro station: Chalk Farm, which is actually located in London not far from Camden.
