[The Wycher]

I actually thought I got the first one right but still not enough well played bromley

You did but you gave two answers.

[The Wycher]

I thought they were effectively the same the thing is manifested by the other which represents it. A bit tricky to say without giving the answer away.

Thanks for running it though think its the best quiz idea so far.

[POWWWWWWWW]

My 100m world record answer was soooooo far away from what it actually is. Crazy.
Also I think I misinterpreted 20. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is located in which capital city? as 20. Name the furthest possible place on earth away from The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.

[KarmaDope]

Wow. UL Degston - although I think you're pretty much guaranteed a Lucky Loser spot!

[celtic]

Is there a prize for scoring the least?

[bromley04]

I actually thought I got the first one right but still not enough well played bromley

Thanks mate - it was a close one.

Also want to say I love this quiz.  Literally checking my phone all day for the result!

[baldock92]

I almost wish I was out in round 1, the scores coming through are going to make it embarrassing for me in the 2nd round!
