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.

& the winners were...

3 out of 5 Ain't Bad, with 77%, followed by the Old Hamtonwellians with 74%. Village Idiots beat Night Off The Marathon Training into 3rd place in a tie break; both teams had scored 67%.

There was no 'best team of 2' prize this month - too few teams - but all teams went away with lots of Easter Eggs.
