OK folks, here's Week Three's Round of the Quiz. First an update of points based on the first two weeks:
Claires_dad has 10 points
marke09 has 10 points
pizatheaction has 4 points
pedrok has 3 points.
There are still 5 weeks to go! So with a bit of research anyone could win!
Anyway, before the questions, here is a recap of the rules:
RULES:
Only one entry per person per week. Multiple entries will be ignored and only the first entry honoured.
The person with the most correct will be announced every Sunday from August 24th 2014. Answers will be given every Sunday morning from August 24 2014. . The weekly winner will receive 5 points. The person who comes second will get 3 points and the person who comes third will get 1 point. The person with the most points at the end of the Quiz which will end on Saturday 12th October, will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, the names will be put into a hat and the overall winner selected randomly, but only if there are more than two winners.
Please PM me your answers. It will invalidate any entry if you reveal the answers publicly as you could be enabling others to see the answers too.
GAINING POINTS
To gain points you need to enter the competition frequently. You will not be considered a winner with 5 points if you only entered once. You do not have to enter every week. The weekly winner will get 5 points. The person who comes 2nd gets 3 points and the person in third place gets 1 point. If there are more people who come 2nd than third, then all those will score 3 points and the third place ranking will be disregarded in any particular week that this occurs.
