@Martin-O2 and @Marjo
Thanks so much for taking part and being such good sports. I know @Marjo was in meetings all day leaving @Martin-O2 to do all the forum work.
Thanks again.

1) I had never used Excel actually and....
2) The format had always been to show the answers given by everyone(in condensed format) with stars awarded so how the hell would that work on Excel (I only said that to my other half not @pgn )
Excel-lent move, best avoided if you've managed thus far without it, @Cleoriff
Thanks for the sterling work and 10 stars.

Well done and thank you @Cleoriff for all your hard work
I should have got the 2012 Olympics
I did get Newkie Brahn correct, even though I've never drunk any
Like @Marjo , I'm very happy with my one star
Just goes to show all the time and trouble it takes for @Mi-Amigo to compile the quizes regularly

This did not look like fun! (On either side)
Actually, I enjoyed setting it up @Anonymous. It was sorting through the answers and posting them which became a time consuming challenge. I started to think THE REVENGE was on me!
