Re: Zone 1 Challenge 2016
I believe this year the quiz is on 17th century Italian philosophers. Plus a couple of questions on buses.

Re: Zone 1 Challenge 2016
Which leaves the possibility that the bonus round could be on 17th century Italian buses...

Re: Zone 1 Challenge 2016
It is indeed a TV quiz. Last year's round on Tandy own brand models was particularly taxing, like the Rumbelows quick fire round.Tube Geek wrote:When I read the first part of this, I thought 'seriously?', as that is what I asked not to be written! Then the second bit made sense! Is it like a TV quiz, such as The Chase, or Pointless?The Orange One wrote:One in which questions are asked and answers are given. Hard to describe, because it changes every year, you see.

This map may be useful for, you. To answer the question, 20, 48, 69 and 257 (forgetting, of course, the N35)

Re: Zone 1 Challenge 2016
It's 50/50 whether I will be attending at the moment - a combination of busy-ness, feeling a little 'under-the-weather', and other bits mean I will have to see how I am on Friday morning.
If I see you I see you, if I don't then I won't. (Alternatively I may just socialise and not do the challenge.)
Whether I make it or not, have a good time anyway!

Re: Zone 1 Challenge 2016
Afraid I can't get tomorrow off so won't be taking part. If someone texts me the starting station anyway, I might be able to pop down in my lunchbreak and wave you all off, depending on which station it is.
