After scoring a dismal 1/7 in the BBC quiz, I have just got 12/15 and am comfortably in 3rd place now!

How does that happen? 🤔🙃

Thank you for the reminder - completely forgot!

A magnificent 5.

Even the science one had a current affairs flavour so I had to guess (wrongly))

I think that from next season we should merge this with the BBC quiz, and then also include the Guardian Saturday quiz, which is a far tougher proposition. We should split the league into two, with promotion and relegation on a three year cycle, and only the top league league gets automatic invites to the Saturday quiz, where the points are doubled. The top two players from the lower league will also be invited to the Guardian Saturday quiz, but these will be determined on a year by year basis. The quizmaster* will have an additional two invites for the Saturday quiz per week to distribute, but only to those in the top two thirds of the lower league. The Guardian kid's quiz will be open to the lower league players, but this will have half points. Top league players will also be able to claim points in the kid's quiz, but only four of them for any one quiz, invites must be requested in advance and will be determined by the quizmaster. This is a very transparent and simple system which should be easy for all. Around halfway through the second season we'll change how points are distributed and introduce point based fines for e.g. moderator warnings, wearing the wrong length socks or waste disposal infringements (putting the wrong bin out, forgetting to put the bin out, putting the wrong waste in the bin etc.). To ensure these infringements are properly self reported, the quizmaster shall each week randomly pick a poster and stand outside their house on a bin night, dressed as the quizmaster's current avatar.
