Thanks to Hog for pointing out the lack of a tiebreaker. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by 'count back' i.e. If one person scores a point for question 10 and the other(s) don't, they are the winner. If all have the same score for question 10, then the same principle applies for question 9 and so on until there is a champion.

A neat variant on golf's method for deciding a winner at club competition level. - simples innit.

Results as follows in a quiet Boot competition:

Hoglette - 6
Hog/Geoff - 7
Me/Ancient Colin - 9

I take it on the tiebreaker because both AC and I got question 10 wrong but I was closer by just 1% to the amount of possession that Oxford had for question 9 - if only they could actually do something with that possession - Grrrr!
