What happened was that I was on Q19 of Group B's reveal yesterday morning and my iPad died, so I took the huff!

[Redsgirl]

  Go me! I'm so excited!
Commiserations to the losers and all that but how good am I? I can't believe I got question 8 right, it was a pure guess.

Can't wait to see Tikays results now.

[TightEnd]

AlunB - 9

most disappointing. will have to recalibrate my thoughts on this poster.

[AlunB]

Haha! Me too Tighty. Me too.

I did it super quick, as I knew otherwise I would be tempted to cheat. Probably my downfall.

[AlunB]

My knowledge of popular culture let me down massively. Confirmed old. Also have zero knowledge of biology as never even did it at GCSE.

Mind I can't believe I put the wrong answer for Ippon. Was so confused to see an X there then realised I'd mixed up my four letter Asian sports. Doh! Also the flag one was just dumb. So two off by rushing which would have seen me through? Lesson there.

I still can't remember who Richard Starkey is even though I've looked it up twice.

[Cf]

Wow can't believe I got through that.

Is 9 going to be the lowest qualifying score?
