    Why would you need to know your score to check an answer. If you were unsure of whether you got one right, Google it.

    What a team answers and what it is marked can be two different things.

    Does your score in the previous round affect your ability to answer rounds 3 and 4?

    No control over that. We all just have to focus on next round and wait for the reveal.

    Well still waiting to hear from two of my team. Could do with them to fill in a few blanks in round 3. We're good with Round 4.

    Stormzy is the leading exponent of the musical style called grime. Grime is basically a style of hip hop/rapping that originated in London. As with pretty much all hip hop/rap, it's pretty crap (imo). On the plus side, Stormzy himself seems like an exceptionally nice guy and has used his fame and money to help unpublished young black writers and has been very critical of the UK government's handling of the Grenfell Tower aftermath. Need to know any more? :)
