So if I google 5 of my answers and get the correct ones does that change my final score? or is it just a fun extra, not affecting my score at all?

It will affect your final score, any google corrected answers count half on top of what you already have.

I didnt do it when Dan did the quiz either, but I dont think it counted in your score that time.
It feels a bit like cheating, I have done my answers, be they wrong or right, they are all mine

I couldn't make head or tail of the Google ruling thing either! Sometimes as you say though Google is wrong, but it is better to use Google after than before entering your answers and then win.

Surely the idea of a quiz is to test your knowledge without help especially from the Internet?

[FLINTUS]

Ok, right just going to demolish this google thing so just a normal quiz.
