Quiz results

A reasonable turn out for the annual SMoG quiz at The Victoria saw four teams competing for the honour of victory.

At the start there was a distinct split, with two teams vying for first place and two teams battling it out for, er, last.

The Krabs took an early lead after the "Mountaineering Heroes" round and maintained it through to the break after the "Gear Fondling" section. But their poor performance in the "Say What You See" picture round saw the Chalk Bags and Wallnuts close the gap whilst the Crampons, reinforced by some late arrivals, took the lead.

Controversy ensued as some of the following questions/answers were (quite rightly!) challenged but things were very close by the end of the "British Mammals" round. That'll teach me for borrowing questions from a certain website.

With 5 points between first and last place it all came down to the "Climbing Anagrams" test. Two of the anagrams might have been questionable (BARRIER INK? RISK CUPS? Well, there are too many people on the web that can't spell...) but some easy clues helped to diffuse that situation. In the end a 100% result from the Crampons saw them build on their lead and take the victory.

Congratulations to Paul, Jose and Rod!
