The Quiz Of The Year (2015) Results - Another Archival Interlude

a sweep is as happy (photo by Krissie it seems)


The Quiz of The Year - a slightly annoying annual event here on Bitsnbobs  - turned out to be a hotly contested affair this year.

Usually Mary walks off with it - and she went into the lead VERY early as she inadvertently answered one of the questions before it was even answered.

Normally that would result in outright disqualification but this year is different.

She then tried to influence the judges by claiming first that she didn't want to win and secondly by suggesting that Guiseppe - who hadn't even answered - be given a whole bag of bonus points.

Normally that would result in automatic disqualification.

But this year is different.

To be honest though getting ANYONE to bother to take part is like getting beetroot out of a walnut.

But then at the last minute - just before the deadline - a betting consortium headed by people with inside information (they worked in the pantomime with me) submitted their answers.

So i've been forced to do a count of the various correct answers and hopeful guesses sent in.

Here, whilst i do the calculations, are the correct answers.

Mary came up with 9 correct answers!!!

But the consortium of combined effort-saffy/harry/pete/joe and julian (to give them a name) scored a very respectable 13 and even pointed out that i got the number of birds wrong in one of the question!!!!!

So THE GRAND PRIZE - i don't know how you are going to split it - is on its way to you HQ.

Well done!
