- So the sticker goes to The First Easterners! Congratulations. Too bad for
- The Mighty Zorba that ZZ's Quiz #3 was to first one he entered. The Not
- So Gigantic Dutch Officials are a good number 2 (hi guys! :) and The New Zoo
- Revue score a fine #3 with only 2 quizzes to send answers from. And I'd like
- to especially mention David Mattingly who scored 10 points with his third
- quiz preventing himself from being last in the total score.
-
- I hope you all enjoyed these quizzes, anyway I did. And thanks again to all
- the people who took the trouble to send their answers. Thanks and maybe
- I'll make another quiz next year (slim chance though because of lack of time).
