Yay got them all correct! That Syzygy thing I heard of many years ago also but I still looked it up. To be sure to be sure.

Thanks for the competition Mike! Good luck everyone!

you actually got 29.. you got q15 wrong.

Ok here's some stats from the results..

158 entries submitted in the quiz

- Lowest score: 11/30
- Highest score: 30/30, shared by 17 people. Congrats to 33South, Argonavis, chunkylad, cometcatcher, DavidH, gbeal, glenc, grl, Hitchhiker, jackenau, mattrob, Mick, netwolf, Robby, Robert_T, Smokey and Twokids for getting all 30 right and therefore getting the maximum 4 entries into the draw.
- Everyone gets at least 2 entries into the draw, as noone got below 10/30.
- Total number of entries in the draw: 464. I'm going to need a big hat!
- Question 27 was the "easiest", with 99% of the respondants getting it right.
- Question 23 was the "hardest", with only 53% of the respondants getting it right.

Here are a couple of graphs, showing the breakdown of the score's people got, and also a graph showing the percentage% of people that got each question right.

Thanks!

Atleast I got Question 27 right...

Cheers

I thought each participant got one entry per correct answer! I must have read the rules wrong.

Hey this is funny, I got 24 right. I never thought I would get that many right just by whipping through it. Must be my natural genius that pulled me through. 80%, keeping to my usual standard. Did the same at Uni. 80 % average for my degree. I like blowing my own trumpet. I am good, just ask me, I'll tell ya!!!

Snibs i'll check the results and PM you tomorrow.

EDIT: I don't need to do that - you can check your own answers!

Go back to the xmas comp info page, click on the link that takes you to the questions, and it shows you your answers.

I'll be announcing the winners at about 6:30pm tonight. After Bintel, I've got to go to the chiropractor. A bit of nervous waiting never hurt anybody
