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...

The Old Hamtonwellians with 92%, followed by Fruitcakes, Loonies and Closet Racists with 90% and Les with 87%

For once there were no teams of two.
