Will you be defending your title for the hat trick next year?

I'll have a go, but it did take some studying of the news. My guess is I'll be handing over the virtual trophy to someone else in a year's time.

Thank you @classic33 for your work at this during the year.

He does it, but I provide the thread (usually) to make it all happen every week! :hello::becool::laugh:

I am there, poised on a Thursday evening, just waiting for it (although it usually appears when I've started to do something else, so I miss it)... And what thanks do I get? 😏🤣

It's interesting that last year's top 4 are this year's top 4.

Best guessers cheaters on cycle chat 😁
FTFY!! 🤣

No, no, only kidding!

I am just practicing for next year. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :angel::laugh:

Awesome work @classic33. I suspect a combo of doing it every week, being immensely talented, bothering to look at the news and being lucky does help.
Some of them, particularly the Guardian ones are also just general knowledge, an educated guess or common sense.

Top work @classic33 A nice weekly distraction. i look forward to partaking a full year next year and with grit, determination and an element of distinct spawniness and luck moving up the table.

Up in the Top Twenty next year then, having managed this years goal of getting in to the second tier this year.

The posts are in, they've all been counted and here for the last time for 2025 is the results from the Yorkshur Jury in the Quiz Of The Week.
You'll be pleased to hear that not one person managed to post the maximum score possible, 357 by the way.
The top three places remain unchanged, but the difference between them is half what it was twelve months ago. You'll notice there's no "tied" scores in the Top Twenty either.

1 @DCLane 273 ½ = =
2 @Buck 271 ½ = =
3 @T4tomo 270 ½ = =
4 @13 rider 259 ½ = =
5 @Fnaar 236 ½ = ↑ Two
6 @slow scot 235 = ↑ Twelve
7 @Bonefish Blues 232 ↑ One ↑ Two
8 @Specialeyes 221 ↓ One ↑ Five
9 @BigSid 219 ↑ Three ↓ One
10 @C R 218 ↑ One ↑ Eleven
11 @steverob 217 ↓ One ↑ Twelve
12 @Wixsteman 216 ↓ Three ↓ Seven

14 @Domus 207 ½ ↑ One ↑ Twenty Nine
15 @Paulus 207 ↓ One ↓ Ten
16 @Legs 205 = ↓ Six

18 @craigwend 193 ½ ↑ One ↑ Six
19 @mistyoptic 192 ½ ↑ One ↑ Nine
20 @Willd 191 ↑ Two ↑ Seven

Dead chuffed to have come in at number 5, and intrigued about my half a mark 🤔😂
I hope I was one of the ones who posted every time, as that was one of my resolutions back in January 😂
Thank you @classic33 for your hard work with the scores and whatnot 👌 May god bless you and all who sail in you 🙂
