10 Tenths Christmas Quiz 2004


The rules are simple:
Entries to be in by midnight GMT 28th December. Please post using this link or by PM to an F1 mod to get your answers on record.

The answers will be posted on the 29th December (probably). A short period of discussion and wrangling will be allowed to battle over the answers. However the judges decision will be final. Then, after a self-marking, submissions of your score will take place in the best pub quiz tradition!

Super Tourer can't enter because he wrote the questions and I can't because I checked them - so you know who to blame!

Good Luck!
The F1 team.
