Anyone still working out which is who and who is which:
Can you add justification to the TRICKY set so that I can deduct points for any valid reason to choose the wrong Quizmate.
Thanks in arrears.

Yes, sorry about that - I looked at the harder ones but ran out of time to work them out. It's a busy time for Choristers at the mo. I'm all carolled out before Christmas even starts.....

Oh, my goodness! I never expected to win. Well played everybody! And kudos, of course, to Surfing Madness for stumping me on 8 of his 30 pictures.
Much thanks to our Quizmaster for yet another challenging and fun knockout quiz.
I never realized how much fun the Question Time round could be for the competitors. That round was definitely the highlight of this year's quiz for me. I must thank especially The Great Gumby whose mad searching skills saved my butt that round. For me, the biggest reward of the Quiz was getting to play that round.
It was certainly fun playing with you all this year. I look forward to playing more towards the brink in future years.
Thanks again, QM!

Thanks, although I did actually play last year (and came fourth), I seem to have a habit of joining the quiz as late as possible!
Ooh second, well done Mertseger. It was fun playing, thanks quizmaster. And now it's over I have no excuse not to do my work... (well except the Christmas holidays ![[Biased]](wink.gif) )

Did they? I think I got about the same score on each set of questions, so I'm surprised if I made much of a difference. Congratulations, anyway.

Well done, all!
Thanks ever so much, QM, for another diverting, mind-bending break from reality. I have an even greater appreciation for all the work you do on each quiz.

Congratulations, Mertseger!
And thank you to Quiz Master for this fascinating game! I never thought I'd look up so many different types of things. I petered out at the end, but it was still fun checking in every day to see what was going on.
I feel like I made some new cyber friends.
