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.
