Aw you can still guess though Jess - just put A for every answer! (I can't remember how many points that would score though)

Sorry about the ultra late notice but if it's okay with everyone I will extend the quiz deadline until SUNDAY 16th at 9PM as we only had 4 entries and I have been away so hadn't had time to mark it! Hope that's okay with you all and still time to enter
