Might be worth PMing your answers to a mod before Cal so we are all singing from the same hymn sheet as we didn't do too well in the last round

To be quite honest I am not surprised at our performance in the last round. There were people on the list who I had personally never heard of. By sending our suggestions to a mod what difference will it make? Someone, somehow has to decide which suggestions are used and having more than one person in the selection of which ideas are put forward sounds a bit cumbersome to me. The last round was a "one off" in any case - using photographs isn't as easy to solve as normal questions and, lets be honest, we haven't done too badly so far with the system we have in place already. Don't forget the old adage - If it ain't busted - don't fix it.

Fair point Esca - I'm rubbish at picture quizes.. you either know them or you dont!

The issue here is that this is a Forum quiz rather than an individual, only the first 4 entries count. If you don't know an answer somebody else here might. God it's starting to sound like a team building execise! GC doesn't have a 'members only' area so the only place to discuss questions, that wouldn't give the answers away to rivals is via PM.

Maybe we should think about a members only section Adam?

I've (temporarily) made the quiz forum member only so we can discuss here

It also helps to be able to remember to pm your answers before the deadline too, I remembered at 7.08 pm on Saturday!

I think having a members only area sounds like an excellent idea. I have similar sections on the forums I look after.

OK people we know most of them but we need help on Questions 2,5,6,8
