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....

Thanks
