Thank you to everyone that took part last night, we had 82 teams submit their answers.

First, the answers.

For Q17 we accepted all spellings of Evel, and Robert. For Q38 we gave two points for the answer we were looking for which was Mississippi River, and one point for anything else we deemed to also have five eyes but cannot see. For Q40, because of Jon’s dodgy maths, we accepted the highest answer provided (48), and anyone who had the correct answer in the comments field.
