Every day up to and including christmas eve I'm going to post a different quiz on here.

The rules are simple:

Click on the link and immediately click on 'Ready? Click to Start' (no thinking / googling time)

As soon as your time is up post your score on here

This game will only work if people are honest so please post honestly

Top scorer for the day will score 10 points, 2nd place 9 etc

Anyone who beats my score for the day will receive a bonus point

The winner will be whoever is top dog at christmas

Best of luck and sporcle number 1 will follow shortly


Table after day 7

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

Please, no clues in your results post

Word of WARNING about todays challenge. There is a 20 minute time limit today which is why I've left this one until christmas eve when, hopefully, office rules are slightly more relaxed and the day is quiet. If you're not sure you'll get the time then it may be worth leving until lunchtime or when you get home.

Todays Bonus Points:

The usual 1 for beating my daily score which today is........84

3 Bonus Points to the player who gets the furthest unbroken list of correct answers from the top of the list. For example, the first answer I missed from my attempt was number 5 so my unbroken run was 1-4. If you don't get number 1 you need shooting and your score will be 0!
2 Bonus Points to anyone who matches my surprising achievement of getting all the 30's (you'll see what I mean when you get on the site)
1 Bonus Point to anyone who names the '63' scorer (again you'll understand when you get on the site)

Final Day!

Please post your scores as following: 84 (1-4) (30s) (63)

Even more embarassed to admit to just 11

But, I did have to minimise the screen for 5 minutes or so as one of the directors was milling around, so if there is a complete leaderboard posted afterwards kindly add this caveat :)
