And the results:

Yudster - 125
Cassie - 100
McGuinness - 100
Topher - 95
Munki - 90
DimTim - 80
Johnny - 75
Andy - 70
OffBob - 65
Charlalala - 60
Duck - 55
Ben - 50
R4an - 50
Nade - 40

When I mark these, I just have the letters not the full questions beside me. Therefore, R4an confused the hell outta me with:

3. Y

I was even gonna give you a point if you had obviously just his the wrong answer but "Y" is nowhere near A B C or D on the keyboard. It wasn't until I saw Nade doing the same thing that I realised what had happened. And yes, I gave you it.

I should add that I added the scores up in my head this time so feel free to argue with me if you get a different total.

Topher - while I enjoyed reading the short story that came along with the answers... I'm not sure it added anything.

DimTim - you only googled the once. I don't reckon it would have made much difference, but just so you know.

Well done to Yuds and thanks to everyone, especially the newbies, for taking part. I'll do another when I get the chance.

The reason I cope with working from 8am till 7pm with 1hr 45 travel at each end of the day is that I enjoy the job. I wasn't complaining... I just wasn't gonna start fannying about with quiz scores!

[Yudster]

Given that I am never going to get a score like that ever again in my life EVER, I hereby retire from the Juicy Pear. No way I can bear the disappointment of being crap next time.

[McGuinness-89]

Congrats Yuds, if I could pick someone to be behind it would be you.

[foot-loose]

You should never approach a Yudster from behind incase you startle her and she kicks out. She's a bit like a horse in that respect.

[Yudster]

You're a hell of a lot safer behind me. If you're in my eyeline, keep moving because my rule of thumb is if it stays still long enough, I eat it.

[DevilsDuck]

I aint playing again

I feel like Tina!

[MK Chris]

Well you thought hot cross buns are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday. Thick duck.

[DevilsDuck]

I dont like pancakes.....some people put crispy duck in them.....so I traditionally eat hot cross buns on Shrove Tuesday......if people throw them in the river for me!

So do one

[dimtimjim]

I feel like Tina!

Shame you don't look like her.....

[DevilsDuck]

How do you know?

[CassieJackson]

Congratulations Yudster!

[Yudster]

I feel like Tina!

Well you can't have her, have a hot cross bun instead.

Oops, thanks! I didn't even realise I had made that mistake.

Well done Yudster.

[Munki Bhoy]

Top five, yay! Well done Yuds!
