Does a difference exist between asking posters on here if they can help with a question - or trawling through other quiz sites to find possible help, or the internet, or using reference books? As with many folk on here, I'm happy to ask for help with questions, as I note that Angie55 has on occasions for other quiz queries. Is the objection because cash prizes are involved, I wonder? Ian W (The Challenge) did recognise, though, "it is not strictly against the rules, which state that you may use ‘any means’ to obtain an answer". A bit of a conundrum, methinks?
