Some thoughts

Put my entry in last night, again some interesting questions I enjoyed trying to find the answers to.

A couple of the tricky ones gave up the answers using RGL (Reverse Google Lookup). Put in the answer and see if you get the question.

One question set me back a fair amount of time, I thought I knew the answer but didnt really like any of the choices then after doing a Sherlock Holmes (eliminate the impossible) I was left with only one possibility, which after a few glasses of muscle relaxant seemed much more probable.

Smile Hat? Barrel?

I'm confused - if the entries are in the hat you ain't going to be pulling much out of any barrel! I quote Rule 9:

"On (or around) the 3rd of October 2006, all entries will be placed into a hat and the first, second and third place getters will be drawn in that order out of the barrel."

Sorry - spent too many years as a diagnostic programmer to let this past to the keeper!

Great quiz

Might be a bit of an error in Q12, though?

I could be wrong, but I think you'll find one of the answers has the right date with the wrong year?

And that happens to be the right answer, based on the day and month.

Sounds confusing, I know... but I don't want to give too much away.

Cheers
