1st place: Linda (one answer in the tie breaker questions clinched it, just!)
2nd place: Marie (Star)- great score
3rd place: Kirkie- good score considering no googling :)
4th place: Alan (caledonia), although I am most impressed with the lack of Googling and the hurdy gurdy answer in particular!

Star

lol Alan, I hope its only four.....I have finished my very poor attempt at quiz questions, should I post them today, tomorrow?

As far as I can tell, I need to give a time on Sunday for the entries to be in by and a time for the answers to be out by?
Is this right?
