Quiz Rules
1. There will be TWO quizzes a week, one on Sundays and one on Wednesdays
2. Scores will be acumulated and averaged on the number of quizzes you enter, so that it is fair for everyone. However, to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you need to enter at least 3 different quizzes.
THE PRIZE IS A £10 VOUCHER FROM THE HAY EXPERTS
3. There will be 10 MINUTES to PM your answers from the time the quiz opens.
4. Just for fun, I will announce the winner for each quiz. I will endeavour to announce the winner asap after the quiz ends.
5. If at the end there is more than one person with the same average high score, there will be a tiebreaker scenario.
6. All entries will cost £1 via paypal to: snoopsnflumps@yahoo.co.uk. Please remember to send it as a gift if you can. You can do this once you have sent your PM to me, but no later than 10pm on the night please so that I can verify payments and announce the winner.
7. This will run until 12th December (inclusive). Please remember it is for Pledge a Pound
Any questions please PM me. If we have any Sunday/Wednesday night wobbles, it will be postponed to another time, and disputes on answers will be as per what it says in my book! I have the final say!
GOOD LUCK! Please check back here at 8:00pm, or just before, on Wednesday! :wave:
