Top in the general knowledge quiz was again a tie between Golden Girls and Friends with 38 points each.

Funquiznights - 16th September 2008

Go With The Flow win tuesdays table quiz by 3 points and stay top of the league, The Golden Girls came second but there was a three way tie for third place between Jay's Mob, Just Us and University Challenge.
Tie break question was in what year did whipping children become illegal (Short debate on whether it should of stopped) but back to the quiz, the answer was 1932 and Just Us were closer with 1896 so they took third prize.
Logos were this weeks picture quiz and Go With The Flow, Golden Girls, Friends & Corner 5 getting 10 out of 10.
The Anagram was solved first by Peanuts and Just Us so they got the extra point, one question was disputed about Welsh counties (Which is the only Welsh County not to have a coastline), the answer was Powys but Squabblers contested the answer and added that Wrexham was also correct. I have since checked and Wrexham is a County Borough, which is different from being a County and is not on any Welsh Maps as being a county.
Most interesting question was name the 5 largest planet in our solar system and for a bonus point if any team puts the in the correct order from largest to smallest of the five they get an extra point (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Earth) four teams managed to get them all in the correct order.
Listed below is the up to date league table including last nights game.

Funquiznight - 9th September 2008

Well what an exciting finish to tuesday's table quiz, a four way tie. Go With The Flow, The Bar Flies Boys, Jay's Mob and Squabblers all had 54 points. So a tie breaker question came into play(How many countries took part in the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, the answer 72) The Bar Flies Boys answered 89 so they were the nearest and won the quiz, with Go With The Flow and Jay's Mob taking second and third places.
The Picture Quiz on Television Shows, was shared by Jay's Mob and The Bar Flies Boys with 10 out of 10, a lot of teams went for Porridge but as the picture showed Ronnie Barker walking away from the jail, the answer was Going Straight.
Peter from University Challenge was very quick on the Anagram and came up with the correct answer "Written In The Stars" to earn his team an extra point.
Two general knowledge questions were queried "Which four countries share a land border with Italy" the answer being (Switzerland, Slovenia, France, Austria) Steve from Jay's Mob thought that San Marino was another, but it is classed as a Independant State within Italy just like the Vatican City.
The second disputed question was "In 1936, the American athlete Jesse Owens became the holder of the World 100 meters sprint record, what was his time" a few teams thought that meters were not used back then but yards. But after double cheking the answer, meters was correct.
So after tuesdays game Go With The Flow leapfrog over Friends to take top position with University Challenge in third place. The Bar Flies Boys won the quick fire quiz at the end so won the bottle of wine and completed the double.
