The quiz is a no iPhone zone (I should probably try to find a picture of an iPhone 4.0). 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...

Old Hamtonwellians with 79 points, followed by Bye Bye Bertie with 75 points, and Stephen Hawking's Football Boots with 72 points.

Screwnicorn & The Droog were the best team of two, with 68 points.
