As Matthew has finished the quiz and Tamara is almost there, here’s what I’m going to do: I’ll post Matthew’s answers up to question 67, and in the thread opener I’ll post the answers up to that question.

Then give everyone until 10am GMT on Friday to post answers from question 68 onwards. Hopefully that will give Tamara a chance to finish her answers.

Ohh! Smile  Mathew has done so well! Smile  Tamara will do well once she finishes it.  Having 10 people for lunch must have been quite a task?!

That’s not actually true, you did post a correct answer at some point. There’s still time for you to get stuck in - even to just to the Andy section.

^  I think it would be better for me to leave the quiz to Matthew and Tamara, really.  Getting one question right isn't exactly something to be proud of! lol
But thanks anyway, I do like the quiz, but that's as far as it goes lol Smile

Up to you, but you posted two answers and one of them was correct, so that’s pretty good going.

My God, is Matthew some sort of quiz champion? I'm stunned. I really felt as if I knew NOTHING and Matthew's answers prove that! But I'll plod on with the rest anyway. I'm afraid my ignorance of Andy's details is deep and wide so it may not be very edifying.

Don't worry, I just have a very nerdy knowledge of recent tennis! You did better than me on the literary round. Smile
