MADGEORGE, even though the answers are given, some of the cryptic clues are such that at the time, an answer, "fits".

It's only when a few answers remain and none can be made to fit the remaining clues, it becomes apparent some  answers are incorrect and there is a knock-on effect.

Don't need a spreadsheet, the same names appear on a regular basis.

Used to set a lot of pub quizzes but gave up when the cheaters and their mobiles started winning .....usually something not worth being dishonest about.

Used to enjoy charity quizzes online or by post, but most of those are going the same way.

So instead of checking back they ask everyone else to finish it for them.

Sort of thing my lazy grandson would do.
