Many thanks again @Dec66

I'm glad you posted that because it reminds me of the sort of stats I need to put up for this year's quizzes

I also love that @flatflr posted a very belated score on the end of it

 

[Beebo]

I was 10th last year with 230 and I’m 9th this year with 238, just consolidated my position in the top 10.

 

[C R]

For some reason I had the impression that I had done better last year than this year .

 

[BrumJim]

17th this year AND last. Consistent, if nothing else. Unless it's a fix?

Many thanks, @Dec66 for taking on the mantle. Much appreciated.

@Dec66 thanks for making the quiz more fun!

I actually was a Page 2er for one week! Must try harder.

Looks like I was wrong... This would appear to be the final result, as they have published Part 1 of Quiz of the Year today.

So, chapeau to @Moon bunny for a quite outstanding performance with (I think, not checked the sheet) 43 perfect scores along the way. I'll put out some more detailed stats when I'm back in work on Tuesday.

Thanks to all who played; it's been fun.

Thanks for keeping track of everything again. Always good fun, even if I’m never likely to trouble the leaders! Still, 7 pts better than last year, so an improvement

Good fun. Not a regular player but will make the effort next year. Thanks for your effort.
