You don't have to think about is so much tooncheese. Just make them easier! Nothing before you were born, ok? Just stuff you remember?!?

A stunning victory by gethinceri, catapults him up both leaderboards, only 14 points off no-FIAt-please in the lead of the third group. cider_and_toast and toast scores for the first time (I will assume you scored 5.35 unless you say otherwise). The four-way battle see's myself gaining as Jos the Boss, mjo, Johnny Carwash all score poorly. teabagyokel has faltered in the last two quizzes, but still has a fifty point lead.

On a side note I'm going to try and adjust the system that removes the disadvantge of quiz writing, so account for some quizzes being easier than others, like Bahrain and Canada. I will try to keep it from turning into the Duckworth-Lewis method, by just using a few averages.

I'm not sure that Bill Tarmy knew Kevin Whateley.

Good news, I'm working on the Hungary quiz and it should be out in the next few days. We have to find something to do to bridge the 3 week gap. Stay tuned to this channel.

GermanF1 returned to tie for victory with teabagyokel, who ended his dry spell. Shambles for mjo, Johnny Carwash, and myself as Jos the Boss gains big on his close rivals. The Artist..... is a clear sixth despite a late start. And lastly a welcome to Slyboogy and Olivier to the game.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Come on, drop the worst three/four results and I'll be right back in the hunt!

 

[Slyboogy]

Never knew there was such a thing.

How come there are a few of us with numbers on the left hand side of our names?

 

[Olivier]

Wow dead last ... I guess the positive is that there's a lot of room for improvement

 

[tooncheese]

Slyboogy, quiz writers are compensated for missing out quizzes. So it is thier score * No quizzes / (No quizzes - quizzes written)

Congratulations to newcomer TN23, and Incubus for the top two scores this week. Elsewhere another newcomer Road of Bones tied with me for fourth. Forntunately the rest of the poursulvants Johnny Carwash, Jos the Boss, mjo had a mare of a week, so I have a bit of leg room. At the tête de la course teabagyokel nearly missed out on points altogether.

We have a few weeks off now before I write both the Belgian and Italian Quizzes.

Also the adjustment system for the plain scores is not going to plan just yet, hopefully it wil make an appearance after the summer.

 

[Road of Bones]

What? I'm suddenly in a championship now?

 

[teabagyokel]

How's Spa gone tooncheese?

 

[tooncheese]

teabagyokel , we missed a few people as it's the summer break, but all the regulars posted a score. The big winner was The Artist..... who is quickly making up for missed quizzes early on, as he closes on Jos the Boss .

 

[cider_and_toast]

I'm too honest that's my problem

 

[tooncheese]

mjo finds form after being passed by The Artist..... last weekend. The Artist..... has now scored higher than anyone else since he started submitting scores. This is no issue for runaway leader teabagyokel, but it is for me. TN23 and Incubus were the top two once again in Italy following big scores two rounds previous.

mjo is up next for Korea.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Nooooo! I forgot Singapore! Gave me a chance, honest guv, I won't do it again!

 

[tooncheese]

teabagyokel wins the points championship, but the raw score table goes down to the wire. As does my battle with the in-form The Artist..... who takes over second place from me, and third place from mjo.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Well I can't move any further forward so drop the worst five!
