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...

Pornofit with 80%, followed by Les with 79% and Knobcheese with 78%.  Surprisingly high scoring, given the difficulty of some of the questions!

People's Republic of Landor were the best team of two.
