Quiz Answers

Well finally I am back home from India, and so able to put up the answers to the quiz. Between you you seem to have managed to get the majority of the answers. Sorry if you all found it a bit too hard, but I thought I would try not to make it too easy. Better lighten up on the difficulty next time.

But the results are pretty interesting, because, even though none of you managed to answer all the rounds completely, you all did very well on the rounds you did answer. But we have a new winner, first quiz entered and they win...

Well done Rollo!
Just think if Rollo hadn't come along I could have beaten Will 3 times running! Still I'm pleased there are new people coming along to do the quiz Dave as you work hard thinking up all the questions.

Just because you didn't get the most answers doesn't mean you didn't beat me, Dave's Mum. Well Done, and Happy Mother's Day from across the pond.

Dave, you were one shy of running the table on my quiz.
