Children In Need Quiz 2008 - Results

[Magyar]

Thank you to all who purchased quiz sheets to raise funds for 'Children in Need'. This is the now the second year that I've advertised it on Answerbank and over �100.00 was raised from here alone out of a grand total of �223.00 (inclusive of extra donations).

Fifty-five completed sheets were returned of which one entrant got 99 out of 100 and has therefore won first prize. There were a further six entrants who got 98 out of 100 so a draw was made to select the winner of the runner-up prize.

In addition there is a 'spot prize' of �5 for one lucky entrant drawn from all returned entries.

The winners are:

1st Prize: Mr E. Barker from Nantwich

Runner-Up: Mr Ray Burton from Aylesbury

Spot Prize: Mrs H.Woolliscroft from Derby

Prizes and marked answer sheets will be sent out by the weekend to all those who enclosed a SAE.

Thanks again to everybody who contributed and I hope you will all be as generous again later this year for the 2009 Children In Need Quiz.

Thanks John - yes agree with Pauline - a great quiz.
Can't wait to see what 29 was - did anyone get this right ?
Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to the compiler.

Thanks Pauline and Ray. I'm glad you both enjoyed it. The last of the answer sheets and explanation sheets for why certain answers were what they were (particulary in the What Comes Next? round) will be posted out tomorrow.

The answers have been posted on the fundraising quizzes site for anybody who didn't request their marked sheets back, so they can see where they might have gone wrong, and if you have a query about any of the answers just post it on AB and I'll try to explain.

Incidentally, 29 was Sgt Rock (Is Going To Help Me) by XTC and surprisingly only 8 entrants got it correct.
