Pm by all means, then I'll put up the people who got the correct answers (this will show their ignorance I'm sure :smt002 :smt005 )

There will be an overal winner, ie the person with the most correct answers then 2nd and 3rd.

Wooden spoon for the least correct answers.

I'll ask Kwack to verify at the end as well (that is if you want to) and if he doesn't win, otherwise I'll ask Sam.



I'd like to offer a prize as well, but I'll have a think as to what it should be (I did think of a mock "Oscar" but they are cheap and tacky)

Started it late tonight - that particular question wasn't so bad - guess I was lucky there.
There's still one i'm struggling to track down and one that I believe I know but can't find an absolute match to confirm.
Gone 1am over here - so off to bed. I'll have another go tomorrow!

Cheers Gio - this is a good bit of fun.
