The New MQ Results

Slight controversy. As you can see first place has been handed to the more familiar table-topping Kevin Ashman.

Without going into too much detail, Robert admitted graciously that he used an "elastic interpretation" of the time limit. This constituted a breaking of the rules and therefore an unfair advantage over those who had stuck to two-and-a-half hours. Therefore, and with no little pain, I have had to disqualify him this time round.

Nevertheless, 391 is still a brilliant total no matter how long you take, and going over the allotted time constitutes a far more minor offence to the heinous crime of looking things up. Now that would have been very, very naughty. Next time I'm sure Robert will be a law-abiding citizen and obtain a very good score within the time allowed.
