Enjoy

Re: Our club's Christmas Quiz
Thanks, that was fun.
15/40 but some of my answers were correctly spelled, same capitalisation as your answers and still marked incorrect. Others I did misspell. When using Google forms, I abandoned text answers because there are just too many variations.
Have a merry Christmas

Re: Our club's Christmas Quiz
And the victor, with a total score of 22.5 is...
Sparweb
With a very close runner up in sdbodin on 22
Then, admirable mentions to Graeme on 19 points and OzEclipse and KathyNS with 18 each.
The half point that swung it was due to getting half the name right for Hedy Lamarr.
