Ada's Prize Xmas Quiz - THE RESULTS

[TheGoodGuy]

Well....for those of you who sent in your answers.......a BIG THANK YOU for taking part.

There were in fact 4 of you out of the 14 interested, who submitted answers.

They were:

BigC
GlosRFC
Mathare
Ruby

As you may be aware, it hasn't taken me terribly long to add up the scores.

My decision is final.....
Now if I am hyper-critical about one of the answers I could separate you into 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th places (and possibly cause ill-feeling or a dispute), so I have decided that........

As 2 of you have both, in my opinion, scored equally highest, you will go head to head in the Tie-break question to provide an outright winner.

The placings therefore......in reverse order are:
Out of a possible 98pts....

4th: Ruby - 42 pts (Logic, Sudoku, Number puzzle & Q27 were unanswered)
3rd: GlosRFC - 82pts (All spot on except the Doctor's Surgery (logic) question)
1st = Mathare - 98pts (full marks)
1st = BigC - 98pts (full marks)

Mat & BigC.......if you are in agreement to go for the Tie-break, please reply ASAP.

Ada.

Tie break suits I think.

What are the rules in terms of times etc.?

[bigcumba]

I can do the tie break, but not tonight Ada - I'm knackered from on call last night and off to bed in a minute. Should be around tomorrow night at some time.

[mathare]

Unless BigC wants a split?

[bigcumba]

Unless BigC wants a split?

Yeah - I'm up for that Mat :)

[vegyjones]

Well done Ada for a challenging quiz...

I got tied up unexpectedly in a poker freeroll when I should have been doing it...

But as I thought, I would have had no chance with the runaway winners! :clp

[susanwells]

Congratulations Big C and Mat. I did all the trivia questions but couldn`yt do the maths/logic ones at all and no one around me to help or could help so didn`t submit.. good quiz though, thoroughly enjoyed doing it.
:hearty

[mathare]

Ada - BigC and I will split if that's OK.

But out of interest can you reveal the disputed answer?

[TheGoodGuy]

BigC & Mat,

The tie-break is just a matter of providing me with a 'number' the closest of which to the actual answer will obviously win.
It is quite unique.
I can Email it to you and would like your answers by 20:00 Christmas Eve (Saturday) please.

If you would still rather split the prize, please E mail me at the quiz address with confirmation of the Email address you want your vouchers sent to.

Regards

Ada.

[mathare]

What do you say BigC?

Take £10 each and play for the other £10? Split it £15 each? Or go for the tie-break, winner takes all?

[TheGoodGuy]

Guys,

I await your joint decision........

Ada.

[mathare]

Looks like BigC has gone for the night Ada :(

Not sure when I will be around tomorrow but I vote for the £10 each and tie-break for the remaining £10 option.

[TheGoodGuy]

OK Mat

I'll bear that in mind.

If BigC agrees, I'll Email you both the Tie-break ASAP tomorrow evening, with your answers expected by no later than, say, 22:00 Saturday, so at least the winner will be known by Christmas Day.

Please also Email me at the quiz address to confirm which Email address you want your Amazon vouchers sent to.

Ada.

[mathare]

I go up north on Saturday morning so the earlier you can get the tie-break out the better for me Ada.

But I will go with whatever BigC decides on the split/tie break issue

I still want to know that disputed answer though :)

In fact are you going to put all the answers online?

[TheGoodGuy]

Mat,

I can Email you the tie-break now if you want.........I don't think it will give you an unfair advantage.......if anything, the longer you spend trying to work it out, the more wrong you may be.

I will post the whole quiz as a fun Xmas 'event' on Saturday night on the 'Pub Quiz' thread to let everyone else, (if there are any who are still interested) to have a go & confirm the answers as they are posted.

I'll PM you the ambiguous question now.

Ada.

[John]

Don't you folks have beds to sleep in? :D

[vegyjones]

You offering John :D

[GlosRFC]

Ta for the quiz...I knew I'd probably buggered up the logic quiz 'cos I had about 30 minutes to do it all in when I saw your reminder :yikes:

Well done both

[TheGoodGuy]

Glos

Thanks for taking part...much appreciated.

Ada.

[TheGoodGuy]

Tie-break question Emailed to BigC & Mathare.

(Mat - you may receive it twice - my mistake!!)

Let me know how you want to play this....

a) Play tie-break & winner take all
b) Split £10/£10 and play tiebreak for the remaining tenner
c) Split £15/£15 and decline tie-break.

BigC to cast deciding vote (See Mat's earlier post).

Ada.

[bigcumba]

I'll go with Mat's good idea - split £10/£10 and then £10 to play for, that way we have a winner and second prize given we both got them all correct. I'll try and get an answer to the tie break to you later tonight Ada :)

[bigcumba]

Tie break answer sent 8am 23/12 .... fingers crossed :D

[mathare]

You evil bugger Ada! :laugh

Will get you an answer today, just need some thinking time

[Ruby]

Thanks Ada, merry xmas :)

[mathare]

Tie breaker answer sent just now, 5.15pm 23rd Dec

[bigcumba]

You evil bugger Ada! :laugh

Funnily enough I had a similar thought this morning! :D

[piggy]

ada be assured your quiz did not go to waste, the only reason i did not submit my answers was i was so useless at it i printed it off and took it over the pub where we had a great night doing it between us so thought it would be a bit unfair to enter:D can you please post the answers when everybody has had time to have a go , thanks
