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...

Me Fail English with 53%, followed by Harrington Banters with 49%, and Quiz on My Face with 46%

Scores were low because of the lack of the music round this time (see explanation in the questions) and also I think the lack of clues given as it was a 'silent' quiz this month.  Normal service will resume next month!
