Thanks to everyone for participating in the quiz yesterday evening. We’re glad that so many of you have said you enjoyed it. It was a high scoring, close fought quiz, but we didn’t in the end need to use the tie break - where answers ranged from a modest 32 tons to 150,000,000, which would be more than 6 kg a day for every man, woman and child. Somebody eats a lot of chocolate.

We enjoyed some of the names you suggested for Boris Johnson. I bet he wishes he was called Winston, and Xavier was an interesting choice that didn’t occur to his parents! Lots of questions that everyone knew the answer to, none that stumped you all, though fewer people had seen The Princess Bride than we expected. We’d heartily recommend it if you like a bit of light humour.

We do know that Never Say Never Again wasn’t an “official” Bond film, but it was a film and he did play Bond in it, so….

Interestingly, the median scores for the last two rounds were lower than the earlier ones. Maybe they were harder, or maybe a few of you were getting a little tired and emotional as you said farewell to our enjoyable Saturday evenings?

Some teams will find your scores slightly changed after our consistency checks, and we did say no half points, so those have been removed. Congratulations to the Lockdown Losers on just pipping All the Ws by one point. Commiserations to All the Ws.

Correction - a spreadsheet error denied Popping Corks 10 points. Revised results are below. Apologies to all.

For those who are interested. here are the median round scores.
