25/8

I don't mind at all if you read that as twenty five eighths, but that might be a deliberate ruse to trick the scoring system :whistle:

It was actually 218ths.

1 & 5/8

The number of questions where my answers were one year/one corner/one grid position out, made me scream!!! :givemestrength:

I'm relaxed about it all now though... :tea:
