@Anonymous
Good luck with pming me with your "daft answers" - you never know they might be right
In the past, I`ve had "daft" or "funny" answers which were right.
In no way, is any of this demeaning - in fact, it adds to the fun, which is what the quiz is intended to be.

To be honest, it's my own fault. I didn't read the pre quiz write up...just the questions. I had no idea there was a Q1 question until I had worked out my answers....then it was too late to go back.
