On a phone and even if I can I don't know how to do spoilers. Apologies.

No worries. I'm sure WRK will disregard it! 

If you want to do spoilers, just put spoiler in square brackets before the text, then /spoiler in square brackets after the text. 

i'm a spoiler

in all fairness, Your Eminence, that's at least the second time someone's put their attempt up and, being on the app, they haven't been hidden.
There's no way that having seen even the slightest portion of these wouldn't influence my answers, probably by helping jog my memory at least, so I don't feel I can submit an honest entry.
Accordingly, I'm willing to concede this. No doubt we can find a more secure way to run it in future.

Late suggestion for the restructuring. We should go for a regionalised league structure. That way I might have a decent chance of finishing 3rd in the Asian league (behind Eednud & SlipperyP)

And I'd win TFS section.

Well it's hardly your fault that you've seen potential answers, so conceding hardly seems fair! How about abandoning the match and having a replay with a different 20 questions? Would that be okay @dee_62? If it is, I'l make it explicit that nobody should post answers - in spoilers or otherwise!

That would work for me. Why not send it to me and Dee62 by PM and give us a day out do before it goes public?

It's the app's fault! Ah well, at least the Cardinal can give us all the correct answers now!

I've not yet had a response from Dee_62 but he's a decent fellow so I'm sure he'll be okay with the rematch.

Late entry after being on holiday. 4,5,8,6 and 4 = 27. So solid mid table after barely avoiding relegation last week. No need to add it to table unless we're doing a running total.

Not planning on doing a running total. Although I have kept all the old league tables. Maybe we could have it as a special prize for someone. 

So here's the answers to the aborted quiz. I'll PM the new one to Dee_62 and WRK and once they've responded... post the quiz for general consumption.

Sorry, been out. Happy with whatever people want to go with. Let's be honest, it's only going to delay my official status as runner up for an extra 24hrs! emoji3.png

ETA. Think I got about 11 plus the Helen Mirren in that last one.

 

Well it still counts as 12. Which was good, but probably not enough to overcome WRK. PM'd you your second bit at the cherry!

I'd have got fourteen on that one with a possible couple more from guesses, so maybe I've shot myself in the foot here...

Bloody integrity!

Don't worry WRK, I've just submitted my latest effort and I'm looking at a lower score than the first quiz. (Obviously, in the spirit of fair play, it's the equivalent of me kicking the ball out of play after an injury)
