    Well done.

    You could buy a scratchcard - linky.

      So - how did it go?

      Was our advice valuable? And if so, do we get a share of the winnings??

        We won!

        Knowing every single square on a Monopoly board edged us in front in the last round.

        The Geography round was bloody hard though, and we had our Joker on that.

        Thanks everyone. Not all of your handy facts came up, but they were very useful nonetheless.

          What was the prize and how much is our cut?

            Which Monopoly? I'd have known the Star Wars Original Trilogy board, but that doesn't come up too often.

                Ah, the prize comes in two parts.

                Part one is the dosh, but it is a tradition that the winners donate it to the charity box.

                Part two is that we get to compile and present next month's quiz.

                If you like you can contribute some suitable questions, which would be gratefully received. December's quiz will have a Christmas theme.

                  I can quite imagine the blank looks if that particular version had come up last night.

                  Or the Ulan Batar version. No, it was the traditional London version.

                  We once had a round where nobody scored any points. It was about 18 months ago, and if I recall correctly, it was on "famous" quotes.

                    http://www.quiz-zone.co.uk has some good questions - there are usually some Santa picture rounds in there, for example.

                      I went to one last year where the answers to each question linked to the twelve days of Christmas somehow - e.g. "How is escaped fugitive Richard John Bingham better known?"
