I'm in! 30 mins from first posting........................well, I did have a cup of tea to drink as well! (And with milk in it Brad!)

:?: 8O hmm....i sure could use that extra money......

For the lazy gits in the clan I have posted a wee clue to some of the answers in the spoiler, please don't look if you wish to do the quiz properly.....

Did it help?

Well as thick as I am, I actually know a few answers, so count me in

On reflection it seems unfair to have a first past the post winner - some people will not have even logged on before others had already posted and we want to encourage others to still enter. Therefore the winner with be the respondant with the most correct answers and if there is a tie it will be names out of a hat.

In light of the rule change, the first respondant today will still win a prize too

I didn't think it was a 'first past the post' competition, the countdown clock to the end of the quiz gave that away!

I was just commenting on my speed, integrity and mahusive brain on finishing the challenging questions in 30 mins (with a little help from my new google goggles of course!)!

So get your entries in everyone and to make things easier so we get more entries, I will give you a clue to question 10 because its a tough one!
Andy irate:

Damit! I fell for both of the spoilers XD

Aw, here I thought I'd get quizzed on KoA (or our members). Good luck to everybody who participates.

And I must have OCD or something...even though I knew nobody would provide hints, and am not planning on answering myself, I STILL had to open the spoilers.

And the winner was? (This is my OCD Dave, I wan't to check my answers and see how many I got right!!!!!!)

Thank you to all who took part in the quiz - hope one or two questions gave your search engines a bit of a work out!

To try to be fair, both the entrants prior to the rule change and the winner from the hat at the end will all receive 100k. So....

Congratulations to Pilgrim Matt, Beefeater and Serame!!

I hope to see you in cc soon to organise the handing over of these 3 huge money bags

Super! Thank you, Poppy!

WoooooHoooooooo Well Done Serame, Beefy and me!

Thanks 'Poppy'! (That should count as an extra mark!!!!!!
