If you like this circuit, you may also like the 20 x V5 circuit.

Back around 2002, it seemed that if a guy was looking for his girlfriend or maybe looking for a girlfriend, his search was best started with these five problems. They make a nice circuit of 20 points.

1. Viper V5
2. Sloppy Poppy V4
3. Bo Jo Jones V3
4. Superfly V4
5. Easy in an Easy Chair V4

For the extended version, add American Gigolo V3 into the mix.
