Hey Mike...
How about an "Honour Roll" listing of everyone who aced the test?
It won't include me however (25/30)  ...the lowest score posted so far!
Does anyone want to see my list of excuses?

for me:
"You scored 29/30, which earns you 3 entries in the draw"
(woo hoo!  )
did not know that I would earn three entries for that.
I did not read Question 17 closely enough. dang it!
google helped some and some answers were dredged up out of the murk that I call my mind.

That was a fun competition, it had a good mixture of hard to easy (and some more obscure) questions! Thanks to the organisers and sponsors!
It appears as though my uni course, magazine subscriptions and general following of astronomy has been paying off - I somehow managed 30/30! I think it's mostly luck though, I was expecting some to be trick questions.

I'll post some stats tomorrow, ie: number of people entered, those who scored 30/30 etc.
btw, Q1 will be marked correct for everyone due to unintentional miswording of the question. So if you got Q1 wrong, you can expect to get an extra mark

"You scored 25/30, which earns you 3 entries in the draw."
I'm chuffed and proud of myself as I used no Google or any other help. Kicking myself on a couple:
10. Which crew broadcast the first live colour TV from space?
I said Apollo 8 - Which was the first TV broadcast, but in B&W.
7. Which Apollo mission brought back the largest rock from the moon?
I said Apollo 17, which brought back the MOST rock, BUT Apollo 16 bought back the LARGEST rock.
Well done everyone, and to Mike.
