The quiz is a no iPhone zone. It just spoils it for everyone. If you see someone on another team using their iPhone then take a picture of them with your phone. If we all work together we can beat this. Clay Shirky says so.

& the winners were...

There was a thrilling 3 way tie for the top position, with 3 teams all getting 78%.

After a tie breaker (how many cars have so far been traded in under the government 'more than 10 years old' scheme) Old Hamtonwellians were declared winners, with Smell My Cheese second, and Team Janine third.

2 Yahoos.Bing were the best team of two with 64%.

All teams received prizes of some sort.
