      Not really. This one was extra difficult as a lot of people got top answers so if you didn't answer the most popular answer given for more than 2 questions then you couldn't win.

      You're 2 answers that let you down were :

      1. The Body (Stand By Me)
      7. Baedecker

      That's the way the quiz works. The Excel sheet rebelled against Aisling(",)'s name so her scores weren't included. I entered them again and now it's changed peoples scores (though really only the people around her position).

      Yeah. sometimes I think that the newer players haven't fully understood the concept but now I know that most submit what they believe to be the most popular answer when in fact it's the most popular answer that they can think of at the time.

      Alas you were a bit too late. I had the results posted up after you replied and had forgot to PM the mods to have them edit the thread title.

      Sorry $hifty !
