A little disapointing that there weren't that many people at The Albert last night but I suppose I couldn't expect much with it being holiday time. This brings me to the serious bit. In response to what i was asked last night by someone who shall remain anonymous, yes I am miffed when people join in the quiz who haven't paid and i feel i have the right to be because I get paid in accordance with how many people take part over a certain amount, so for everybody who doesn't pay that is potentially £1 out of my pocket. Our winners last night were The Alliance with 90pts, VCJD were second with 88 and Red Devils came third 81pts. All I can tell you about next weeks quiz thus far is that the guest round is due to be ten true or false questions. Enjoy the bank holiday and I will see you all next Thursday. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk if you wish to contact me in the meantime.
I believe Carl M won £21.50 for getting closest to the answer. The question was: At their closest point what is the distance in miles between the earth and Mars? Carl's guess was 34,678,931 and the actual distance is 34,649,589 miles so a very good guess. I'm uncertain of how much remains in the pot but I believe it is somewhere in the region of £50 - £60 which is our starting point for next week when the pot must be won. In the last two months the final pot has been £83.50, so next week someone will be going home with a very tidy sum.
