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 90% (!), followed by both We Wish You a Merry Quizmas and Green Socks with 79%.

Green Socks won the tie-break by being able to get the closest estimate for how many copies of Dawn French's book had been sold last week, so were declared second.
