Wow, that's a very extensive reveal. Thanks for all the effort you put in. My pleasure at my score is only exceeded by my surprise. Objection: You marked my answer to question 8 as correct but I got it wrong.  |

3. How many different time zones are there around Planet Earth? 24
There are way more than 24 time zones - plenty of countries have areas with half hour differences from GMT. |

I preferred it when we had to make wild guesses.
It turns out I'm a lucky guesser.
I'm a bit worried that two people in my group have already said that they liked the questions.

A couple of corkers in there. Really good City question, genuinely did not have the foggiest and I'm usually decent with that type of trivia. Nice to see a couple of Science questions in there also!
