Some Feedback from the Examiner ...

In attempting to wrap up Friday's quiz before daybreak descended I may have scrimped on some detail (e.g. what was the music round connection?) In the sober light of day I was able to review some of the answers & amend scores. Although the overall positions weren't altered I have attached the original 'final scoreboard' & confirm the slightly re-adjusted scores:

  • 1st: Slumdog Ditton 139pts
  • 2nd: Flirty Love 132pts
  • 3rd: Chairbreakers 131.5pts
  • 4th: Hudson Bathers 126pts
  • 5th: Bar Stewards 113pts
  • 6th: Ditton Tigers 111pts
  • 7th: Double Fault 109pts
  • 8th: Claygate Crashers 105
  • 9th: Harvesters 96.5pts

Plus, some of the answers submitted I think warrant a mention:

Round 1. Current affairs

  • Q. Who is to become the new Dr. Who?
  • A. Barack Obama (Claygate Crashers)
  • Q. Who is the new presenter of Countdown?
  • A. Boring guy in suit (Chairbreakers)

Round 2. General Knowledge

  • Q. What were Eugene Cernan & Harrison Smitt the last men to do?
  • A. Shop at Woolworths (Flirty Love)
  • Q. Name Popeye's nemesis
  • A. Pluto (Ditton Tigers)

Round 4. Sport

  • Q. What was unusual about last year's 3rd round match between Hewitt & Baghdatis in the Australian Open?
  • A. Bagdatis went off for a kleftiko (Bar Stewards)
  • Q. What did Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt say was his pre-race speed enhancing food?
  • A. Baked beans (Claygate Crashers)

Round 5. 2008 & All That

  • Q. PL quotes Steve McClaren, impersonating affected Dutch accent, with signature Wally with a Brolly as a prop
  • A. Sean Connery (Claygate Crashers)

Final Remarks

Bar Stewards thought Leona Lewis was Dire Straits & that Dr. Neil Fox was Elvis Costello. In Family Fortunes one team thought that what men do more than women was 'bullsh*t'.

Finally, Flirty Love's suggestion for the '350,000' question/answer was indeed inspired but a little contensious for public consumption....
