Re: Rare Entries Quiz XVII: Euro 2012
It's impossible to say, because a lot of people's predictions haven't come true yet, but may still do before the tournament is over. Therefore not everyone can be scored for all ten questions. If you want to have a go at working something out yourself, go ahead.

I explained in my previous post that Starkey submitted his answers after the deadline. His inclusion changes the finishing order slightly, so I've had to calculate separate scores including and excluding him. The affected players are greatkingrat, Steevoo, tubeguru, and those who finished below Starkey, obviously. Everyone else's positions stay the same, and that includes the winner, thankfully - well done to jbom!

I explained in my previous post that Starkey submitted his answers after the deadline. His inclusion changes the finishing order slightly, so I've had to calculate separate scores including and excluding him. The affected players are greatkingrat, Steevoo, tubeguru, and those who finished below Starkey, obviously. Everyone else's positions stay the same, and that includes the winner, thankfully - well done to jbom!

I say let Starkey's score stand.
One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

Re: Rare Entries Quiz XVII: Euro 2012
One interesting anomaly in the scoring system is that the people who answered van Persie for Q7 got 4 points for a wrong answer, while if it had been correct, we would have ended up with 5 points!

Wow, as I was reading the answers I thought I had done really badly, but then find I was 4th/5th (I say exclude Starkey )!

Yes, I noticed that.
