Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red

13 March 2025

Great to see Debs and David From Rochester, New York, who were quiz regulars during their recent stay in Durham, back in the pub last night on a flying visit. And with a very commendable performance, with top scores on round 6 (we would expect nothing less).

And another very tight finish: three way tie for first with 33, 33, 33 followed by 31, 30, 29.

Tie break: How many ceramic poppies comprised  the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, the public art installation in the moat of the Tower Of London?  Answer  888,246 poppies

Eve’s team (890,000) pipped Alastair’s (850,500) with Caroline’s holding an internal inquiry after their answer (22,000).

Cheers
