It's quiz time, quiz fans.

Ok, the rules are simple:

• There are three rounds. Each question is harder than the one before it.
• Each question in round one is worth 5 points, round two is 10 points and round three is 15 points.
• Checking your answers is not allowed (i.e. googling them).
• However, you have two chances (called 'life-ropes') to get help throughout the quiz. These 'life-ropes' take the form of being allowed to check two of your answers on Google, but you need to indicate that you have done so. These answers will only get you five points each, regardless of which round they are in.
• To give your answers, please reply with only the question number and the letter A, B, C or D. This way it shouldn't be spoiled for those answering after you. I'll probably not give the correct answers for a couple of days.

Assuming you didn't google any Kendra, you got 14/15! 135 points.

Kendra moves straight into first place.

[S4B]

Which one did she get wrong

[foot-loose]

Ezza - 10 right / 65 points

Leader board:

Kendra K: 135 points
Zoot: 120 points
Andy B: 110 points
Ballbag: 105 points
Ezza: 65 points
Topher: 55 points

Which one did she get wrong

I'll post the answers later.

[MK Chris]

I'm just a thick *.

[S4B]

If I answer the same as Kendra now though I'll be in joint first place you may as well tell us the answers now!

[foot-loose]

But the whole point is that you don't sit copying her answers - if you wanted to cheat, you could just use google for them all and not tell the truth, but wheres the fun in that?

[kendra k]

i bet i missed 12.

i don't need to google- i'm a librarian! (i just know lots of sad stuff, like kojak's name.)

[S4B]

But the whole point is that you don't sit copying her answers - if you wanted to cheat, you could just use google for them all and not tell the truth, but wheres the fun in that?

Winning is fun!

[foot-loose]

Another way to cheat would be to see what answers everyone else has already googled and assume that they got them right, again, where's the fun?

[S4B]

Winning is fun!

[kendra k]

the silly quiz is fun, winning has nowt to do with it.

[MK Chris]

Winning is only fun if you win fairly.

(I'm using a table tennis analogy but I don't care); I always point out when my opponent clips the edge of the table, even if nobody else realised. What's the point in cheating yourself?
