September 2021

Thank you to Rhona and Chris for getting our quizzing season off to a great start.

The results from last night’s quiz are in the table below.

Doves were apparently another animal seen at earlier Olympics where they were often released during opening ceremonies.  That is until several of them were incinerated during the lighting of the Olympic Flame.  We allowed Doves as well as Pigeons. (Round 5 Q1)

We have been informed that male and female rally drivers also compete against each other on equal terms as do chess players (The Queen’s Gambit made that clear).  We have decided to accept that chess is a sport. (Round 5 Q20)

It seems that all sorts of sports people get up to Alley-Oops!  These include American Football, Professional Wrestling, Skateboarding, Snowboarding and Skating besides Basketball.  So we have also allowed all of these. (Round 8 Q5)

We thought it fair enough that all dads should be made to feel Absolutely Fabulous on Father’s Day. (Round 9 Q5)

The lowest scoring question was Round 2 Q8 (What connects COOKIE, CHOC-ICE, DIOXIDE, BEDECKED) where only two teams gave the correct answer.

Congratulations to the ‘ DAHLIAS’  who were this month’s winners and to ‘All the Ws’ who were narrowly beaten into 2nd place.
