...A Quiz Team of Sorts, with 82%, narrowly beating Farewell Alice, who scored 81%. Quiztal Maze came third with 77%.
There were no teams of two, so there was no special prize for them, but all teams got a prize of some sort (T-shirts, 1664 glasses, even water pistols)
Overall a very good turnout, given that it clashed with the final of The Apprentice.
