The results of The Winter Quiz for Macmillan Cancer Support

[Stamford_Richard]

...and finally (drum roll)

There were 95 entries received for the Winter Quiz of which 26 were completely correct. Sadly, 49 people got just one or two wrong answers - mainly putting 'roquefort' as the answer to Q99, or simple errors of not checking the correct number of letters. There were lots of 'eggs' instead of 'egg' and 'Thermidor' with an 'e' on the end, and 'panna cotta' with only one 'n' etc, etc.

Anyway, I do hope my clueing hasn't put anyone off the idea of eating camembert or chickpeas!

The winner for the first correct entry received was Mamyalynne, and the first correct entry drawn from the hat just now is Debbie from Solihull. Congratulations to all who got them all correct, and thanks again to everyone who donated. The quiz raised £1000 in total.

The answers to the winter quiz have been posted at http://sitesaver.dns-...wanswers.php?view=532

The January Quiz is now available at http://www.justgiving.com/theJanuaryQuiz . Answerbank users are requested to kindly refrain from seeking or giving out answers to this quiz, but this does not preclude the odd hint being posted during the week before the closing date.

I also forgot to mention that instead of the usual Champagne, the prize for the January quiz will be £30 John Lewis vouchers.

Are the answers in alphabetical order in the January quiz? It makes it a bit easier to find the answer!?

Congratulations to you both. Afraid I didn't get round to doing it, but will try the next one. Now know who to ask for a "Skiffie and a Glancie" as we say in Dundee.
