Should I put it up in an hour or so? And btw, were you planning to do another tomorrow, because I'm just wondering how much time I should give you You can put it now if you want. I have two quizzes ready for the weekend, next week I'll be in Germany so I'm not sure I'll log in a lot.

What do you say, revealing the results tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow morning? I don't think too many more will answer anyway.
And one more thing, in case of a tie(that's the case now, I'll reveal that much), should we have an extra question to decide a winner?

I know this is one hour early, but I'm too tired to wait any longer haha. Besides, I doubt anyone else is likely to send me their answers within the next 60 minutes. So with that said, here's the results! 1: andybellwillring, globe and lubeck with 13 points. 2: The Escapist with 11 points. 3: MG and @driver7 with 9 points. 4: eva with 8 points. 5: crisppacket with 7 points Well done everyone! If the three shared winners would be up for it, I'd like to do some tiebreak questions so we can get a "real" winner.

Alright, here's what I'm gonna do globe, lubeck and andybellwillring - I'm gonna ask you three questions, and whoever gets most of them right wins not only this round, but also an extra point to add to the overall standings. You have until... I don't know, 18:00(?) British time to give me the answers. All I have to do now is to come up with two more questions... shouldn't take too long, though!

Here they are, the mighty tiebreak questions! Good luck. 1. Who wrote/sang these following lyrics: "I could drink a case of you darling and I would still be on my feet Oh I would still be on my feet" 2. Which year was the Rwandan genocide? 3. In July 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong and then Buzz Aldrin got to take the first ever steps upon its surface, but the third member had to stay inside the space vehicle the entire time and never got the chance to do so. What was his name? Edit: Might as well tag you again andybellwillring and globe (lubeck already answered)

So the results are in, and...
Still no winner! You all got the second one, but neither of you said either Joni Mitchell or Michael Collins. I'll give you three new ones, but if it's still a draw after that I don't know what to do haha.
