@Mi-Amigo, does your reference book give you the NAME of the Chaser?

[pgn]

I guess the Chaser is only human too...

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz, well done on your awards and you now have bragging rights to family and friends that you beat a Chaser.

The questions were taken from the official The Chase Quiz Book, but unfortunately does not give the name of which Chaser got which question wrong.

[jonsie]
