Don't hold your breath. I sent my entry a week ago, and it's still sitting in my outbox unread.

Does that mean I can still enter?

This is odd. Rhys1995's last post to the forum was on the evening of the 23rd, and his last visit was yesterday evening - but he still hasn't read my PM or responded to this thread. I can only assume that he's forgotten about the quiz. Is there any other way of contacting him?

Well after about 10 days of considering whether to actually mark the test scores considering only THREE people entered here's the results...

In third place is Going Underground with... EIGHT!

And in first place is tractakid and GuyBarry with FOUR points..

So there you have it, ta-dah. Considering the low entries I was very tempted to just forget about it but hey.

Could you please break down the answers for each question? That's what makes these quizzes interesting.

You didn't even read my entry until yesterday. How could you possibly have marked it before then?

It's a matter of courtesy to the people who did enter. No one entered my quiz at all but I still gave the answers for the benefit of people who may have tried it and decided not to enter.

If you're going to set quizzes, please try to take them seriously.

Because Rhys spent 10 days deliberating whether to mark them or not, before deciding "sod it" and going ahead with marking them, only then reading your PM?

Since Rhys1995 is unlikely to respond, and only three of us entered, why don't we just reveal them ourselves? Mine were:

1. Death of Dylan Thomas on 9 November 1953
2. Anders Limpar
3. Fernando Alonso
4. Neasden
5. FIFA 11
6. November (German)
7. Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven
8. SE11
9. 1111
10. Oxford Circus

I wouldn't have said any of those, so I'm winning at the moment.
