Congratulations to the July quiz high scorers.
The July quiz is still open for new tries but I have tallied the scores. Because this quiz was so easy, I have taken both completion time and accuracy into account.
I have corrected all the scores below so that anybody who answered either
Sol or
Proxima Centauri got a point. This was because I realised that Sol is not as widely a known name for the Sun as I thought it was when I set the question.
The first question of each quiz is more of a poll. Every answer is marked correct.
So everyone gets at least one point and I'm more interested in the spread of answers.
This months poll:
Is astrophotography fun?
Yes.........................................14
No..........................................3
Who cares, I like to watch!......8
It seems that while the biggest group are photographers, we have a few voyeurs amongst us.
