Beer challenge

24 August 2023

Scoring in the quiz is nothing if not consistent at present.  Last week was a 30-30 tie. This week 31-30, but with ties for 3^rd and second last.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Although that is from a quizmaster perspective.

I think it is fair to say to say that Beer Round was, to put it mildly, challenging.  The quizzes posted online don’t include the Beer Round (5 beer tokens to be won) which can be a question, pictures, even music on occasion.

Last night the Beer Round was one of my overlapping rounds. Given that the top score was 2 out of 5 some re-calibration may be required.  The questions are below. See if you can beat 2. Answers next week.

Cheers
