RESULTS!
So here are the results you have all been waiting for.
*Drum roll*
Of the ninety people who completed the quiz, two of whom abstained from publishing their scores and real names, topping out with a massive 391 points is Robert Kinghorn. An astonishing performance considering his best ever performance at a Quizzing event (he has been to three) was his last at Chesterfield, the day of the Portuguese and Lampard-inflicted agony, where he finished with 84 points and came twelfth. This is a huge jump of 22.2 per cent on that performance (compared to second placed MQer who attended that GP too, who dropped down 3.7 per cent.)
Congrats to Robert, on what was a relentlessly filled scoresheet.
Then, of course, it is Kevin, Mark and Pat, and then nosing in front of Bayley is Eric Wildsmith with a brilliant 300 (anyone who broke 300 deserves the highest praise), punching well above his normal weight of his tenth-placed overall 58.2 per cent question average and 14th position in the overall rankings. Well done to him.
Yet, most amazing of all the performances was perhaps the American Paul Freund's 287. Some of the answers he gave - "John Reid", "Crufts", "Cynthia Payne", "92 hereditary Lords", "Bow Bells", "Anton Dolin", "PH Newby", "British Library", "Plasticine", "Horatio Pugwash", "Fluorspar" for Derbyshire Blue John, and "Nine days" for the General Strike - suggest a deeply held Anglophilia.
Ken Jennings, mucho Jeopardy money winner, was almost a hundred points behind, but even his 193 was a very very good score in light of all those British railway and soap opera questions I set. Man, I'm really really sorry about those. The blank spaces made cringe somewhat after a while.
In the other real mini-competition of the quiz, Bart Vereecke of Belgium was top of the non-Anglophone country competitors with 171.5 (half a point more than Erik Derycke), even beating out a significant group of Brits.
That's about it, I could go on all night, but the scores really do speak for themselves. And otherwise, I could really bore myself to death if I did.
Also see below for the scores for the guys who had most British/Anglo-bias to cope with (apologies guys, The Colossus, which is currently being roadtested at three different global locations is coming and will equalise all those troubles away).
Next stop:The Colossus. Stay tuned for details, which I will be releasing possibly mid-August time.
