Managed to tremendously fuck up and send tikay and AndrewT the answers too. Copy and paste fail.
I can only accept the first set of questions you sent me.
So did I end up with different "general" questions to everyone else?
Ruling, RULING.
Mine are harder, much harder.

Unfortunately yes they're different from everyone else, but importantly, the same as your opponent. They're probably a touch more difficult as pinched from each of the specialist subjects.

Seems unfair to me.
I suggest you get Andrew to answer his questions, & if he scores more than 18, he goes through. If he can't, I get a bye.
But in the spirit of the competition, I'll accept them as sent, & won't whinge if I lose. I would have scored a perfect 10 on the original 10 "general" questions.

Completely smacked in the face by the deck in that round. For a 40-something film loving foodie and ex rugby playing petrolhead whose first job was working for the sports company that sponsored Fredericks with a nephew who recently became a black belt, it was an incredible run of questions.

Unbelievable effort Longines really cannot argue going out to a perfect score and I actually scored the same as last round!!!
I did kind of blow it on the first 6 questions quite pleased to get to 12 out 20 when i was 1 out of 6.

I actually thought the same that the questions suited me but I still couldn't answer three of them!!!! That is mighty impressive sir. Very well played.

Answers SENT.
Far easier than I feared. The tie break was a bugger though - I only knew it in feet.

Answers sent.
More than 10 will be happy.
Took me 2 hours on the Fredricks Question. Still annoying me as I had to guess.
Brilliant Quiz.
Well Played all and Good Luck Sharplea.

An excellent match where
HutchGF
proved the victor, winning 16-15 mostly thanks to his specialist subject choice. Hutch becomes the first player to make the quarter-finals whilst david3103 will have to do with waiting for Season 2.
Well done Hutch and good luck in the next round. Really annoyed about a couple of the wrong answers where I know that I knew the right one, but hey, that's the quiz.

I got a lucky break, I would have done far worse with the original set of questions that most others had to answer.
But you need these breaks if you plan to win these things.
