[McZiderRed]

I bagged a big fat 0!!

... And no, none of you can have it. It's mine, I tell you. All mine...

I didn't have a clue for most of the questions, but there were a couple I should have answered correctly. But hell, I can barely remember what happened last week...
What..?

 

[ExtremeNinja]

I didn't understand the first couple of questions. Seems it was just me. Had to bail on the quiz, all the same.

 

[GermanF1]

2, but I came pretty close at some other questions Anyway ExtremeNinja I didn't get the second question either.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Neither did I ExtremeNinja I guessed an actual year!

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Phew.Not just me then.

teabagyokel Would it be rude of me to offer to reword a couple of your questions for you? If it is, I won't.

 

[teabagyokel]

ExtremeNinja - I've reworded 1, not sure how I'd reword 2.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Given that Monaco is an annual event, the race marks the anniversary of every previous winners last win there.

 

[teabagyokel]

No it doesn't. The race is on 27th May. The last time the race was on the 27th May was in

Spoiler

2007

. Reworded anyway.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Hate to be pushy, but if you put "Which year anniversary is it" would make it slightly easier!
