Who stole my cheese?

21 December 2023

Very chilled and entertaining night last night with even the Quizmaster (i.e. yours truly) in relaxed and generous marking mode.

Last week was the Christmas quiz so this week was back to some semblance of normality albeit with a themed quiz, words beginning GUA. Winning scores were 35 (aided by an impressive 9/10 final round), 31 and 29. Second last 22.

However, the night will be remembered for one of the all-time great wrong answers. Round 2 Question 5 is Who or what have the Swiss Guard ceremonially protected since 1506? Hats off to the special kind of genius of Team 5 who answered “Cheese”. I am still digesting the implications of half a millennium guarding cheese…

No quiz in the pub next week. Back in person on Wednesday 3 January with Michael in the quizmaster’s chair.

But there is a quiz online available from next Wednesday evening.

Best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year.

Cheers

Frank
