Ooh! 22 for the May quiz! I think that's my highest ever. :D (There was an unusually high number of ones I knew for sure, and others where I could make a pretty good guess.)

PS. Any prizes for guessing who The Disagreeable Cock is?? :roll: :mrgreen:

Gah! I got 22 as well, but was 13 seconds slower, so I'm just behind you Courtenay! :twisted:

Actually I'm pretty pleased with 22 as it's perhaps my highest score so far too. I'm certainly getting better at the quiz though. Being around such knowledgeable Blytonians is staring to rub off. There were definitely a couple of questions I wouldn't have known the answer to a couple of months ago. :D

26 this month, but as usual, so slow that I'm in 3rd place behind lower scores, LOL. Nearly five minutes! Mind you, I was distracted halfway through or I'd have been quicker. :-(

Gotta have my moment of glory - I'm top of the board with 26 - but as I took over 4 mins to answer, it won't be for long! :lol:

Plus - WHY do I always get a telephone call in the middle of the quiz?! It's happened twice now! :evil:

Currently 7th with 22. I was doing really well at first, then there were all those pesky questions about the Secret Seven! I will have to read them all a dozen times each now as I think my lack of knowledge there is spoiling my chances at the quiz.

And I've just realised I forgot to do May's quiz. That does not help my overall standings in the slightest...

WooHoo. 23 questions right and currently fifth in the table. I believe that could possibly be my best ever result. :D
