Sorry chaps, bozo here didn't notice that question 20 had slipped onto the next page of my word document and I didn't notice when posting, so give yourselves all a point for the non existant Q20.  I'll be impressed if anyone knew it.

If anybody has got a favourite subject (bit like Mastermind) that they would like me to do a quiz on let me know.  Was thinking for a bit of fun if we had several personal subjects we could have a bit of a competition so when it's your particular subject day you would score 1 point for a correct answer and others 2 and then add up totals at the end of the week or whatever it is.  Don't make it too difficult for me though as I would have to find the questions,,,,,and answers!    Have a good weekend everyone.

Only missed the decimalisation by a year - Pounds, shillings and pence was deeply silly.and that is before you get to florins and guineas.

In case anyone is interested.  Since the restart, up to date with all scores received so far.  Apologies if I have missed anyone out.  Thanks to Easthammer for the sheet and formulas as with formulas I don't have a clue!

Didn't even hit double figures today.
