Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third annual Quiz! Hard to believe that it's been a whole year since I launched the last one - and so much has happened. This year, I am renaming the Quiz to give it a more memorable and permanent title. As of now, the Quiz will be known as:
THE BIG QUIZMAS CHALLENGE 2016
which makes today Quizmas day!
So, let's get started. As per the norm, you need to be able to see the rules. I posted these in full a couple of days ago, and if you want to see them, click onto the link below:

Just a reminder that this year you can have two FREE lifelines called a White Card. If you come across a question that you are stuck on, ask me for a clue and I will provide one for you. You can use this "White Card" twice. If you need further clues, I will provide them, but at a cost of 1 point per clue. But, use your lifelines carefully because at the very end, they could make a difference between winning and not winning! See the rules for full details.
