RESULTS OF ROB'S QUIZ III

The deadline is up and the votes have been counted. Well, the answers have been counted.

Perhaps the most pleasing aspect was that the quality of answers was so high that, of the 200 questions, only 5 went unanswered.

Special mentions go to the following, who were the only person, in each case, to give the correct answer to that question:

Q. 15 - SAVED BY THE BELL: THE NEW CLASS - Olav Bjortomt (although plenty were awarded half a mark for 'Saved By the Bell')
Q. 55 - BAHUVRIHI - Shanker Menon
Q. 64 - SHED - Peter Ediss
Q. 90 - GIRLICIOUS - Roger Eldegard
Q. 124 - STEPHEN KUMALO - William Barrett
Q. 153 - BABY FACE NELSON - Olav Bjortomt
Q. 175 - QUERY - Olav Bjortomt
Q. 190 - CANIS MAJOR - Thomas Kolåsæter
