** Thank you Carole and Derek for another excellent quiz.  Here is their post-quiz report.***

 

Thanks everyone for taking part in yesterday evening’s quiz.  It was tight at the top but well done the Smashing Pumpkins, who pipped All the Ws by a single point.

 

A few comments:

  • Round 1 proved to be the most challenging for virtually all the teams
  • South African geography stumped almost everyone - only one team named all 3 Orange River countries correctly
  • It seems that few of you are as devoted Smarties fans as I am
  • We have a family connection with the Bond Bug, a crazy vehicle that some of you remembered. A very young student Derek appeared on TV (Wheelbase) in 1970 driving one. His only TV appearance to date.

 

The final results are set out below.
