The quiz is a no smartphone zone. It just spoils it for everyone. If you see someone on another team using their iPhone (other smartphones are available) then take a picture of them with your phone. If we all work together we can beat this.

& the winners were...

Tempting Fate with 86%, followed by Dirty Sanchez Appreciation Society with 75%

Reem beat the Old Hamtonwellians in a tie break to come third; both teams scored 74%.

Stephen Hawking's Football Boots were the best team of 2 with 73%.
