Damn it 7/10. I’m not sure whether I got the tie breaker right or whether the answer didn’t show up. I know I’m pretty close cos I remember looking up last year’s stats last week.

I’m gonna be a grammar freak here cos there were too many errors in the quiz.

‘Coverted’ is spelt ‘coveted’
‘DP’ (if meant to be deputy president) is more commonly referred as ‘VP’
‘Edingbourg’ is spelt ‘Edinburgh’
‘Motorracing’ cannot be 1 word; should be ‘motor racing’
‘Contietent’ is spelt ‘continent’
‘Propotion’ is spelt ‘proportion’
‘Purshased’ is spelt ‘purchased’

No hard feelings with the creator of the thread but I just found it funny how there were lots of errors :biggrin: :yep:
4/10 i'm actually surprised i got that many right lol bc 3 were guesses
also it didn't show the correct anwser for the tiebreaker this time

Welcome to your first Andrew quiz :rofl:

(He won't be offended I've said this - we've known each other on TSR a long time).
4/10.
Knew 2 of them guessed the others.
3/10, guessed them all and I think I got the tiebreaker on the nose which is pretty nice haha

4/10 didn't expect it to be so difficult 😭
I think this week's quiz is very difficult. We've had 7/10 as the best score so far and we usually get a 9/10 or 10/10.

I found this one quite hard - knew 6 and got 7. I think I might've got the tiebreaker correct but it wasn't clear.

The tiebreaker is not usually set to be marked by the form as it only comes into play where there is a tie for first place. Once you've played the quiz you can however look up the answer to see if you were close!
