currently got 0 :?

I seem to remember the answers are themed, e.g. one section's answers will contain the names of English towns even though the questions aren't "what is the county town of Warwickshire" or "a town near Coventry where rugby was invented" the questions will be more like "Willow star" and "Webb Ellis' game"

I too have 0 at the moment - get a couple and it can snowball a bit.

Leeloo is normally good at this.
