Is the answer to 4 like a common trivia question or do people genuinely know how to spell it?

I wrote it out on the whiteboard in my classroom.

I just googled and turns out I did not spell correctly but I did get the right answer.... 'a's and 'i's mixed up all over the shop!

[HutchGF]

Cheers guys, just very lucky that the questions fell my way and the two options were strong for me.

I also spelt the supercali thing wrong but got the right number of letters

[Longines]

Same here.

Tough quizmaster, I'm sure Gianni was known as Gianna to his mates

Happy enough with my score

Although My answer to Q2 was obviously so bad it resulted in a one point deduction

[tikay]

Awesome performance by Hutch, well done.

Claw did well considering she is just a girlie. "Well done love". 

Tighty though, who'd have thoughted? Well done to his conqueror. Not many beat Tighty in quizzes.

Wonderfully produced & run quiz, big thanks to Scott.
