Quiz Answers

Well I have managed to get my PC back at last and so can put up the the answers to the Countries quiz.
Well I thought I had Will on the first round, but I think I DID give him too much information by saying he was on the right lines.
Yes Will all roads led to TOM HANKS!! But, the concord connection is with where he was born, I thought that it was easy to put a picture of Concord up!

Anyway, no-one got 100% this time around, but I have been a bit lienient in the marking, so here we go the winner, and by a margin of only 3 points was....


WILL!!! My mum is going to be berating me for giving you the clue to Tom Hanks, as she doesn't very often get the link, but did really well this time. Pleased I caught you out with the little mermaid though Will ;)

Will got 66 right out of the maximum 70, which again is fantastic.

MUM came second, with a stirling effort of 63! No wonder she picked countries, sorry about the flags, I didn't know they showed up wrong! But great effort mum, and you spotted the Concord link sort of.

KIM, You made it into the 50's with a great score of 55! That has been enough to win in the past, but your Bro' is just too good!
