OK, so the new quiz format managed to draw in 3 participants for last weeks quiz and while I would have hoped for a few more entries I’m still going to find the positives, which were that we welcomed another noob (
I’ll be continuing with this new format as we go forward and depending on how things develop it may become permanent. This means that for tomorrow’s #beersaturday quiz the prize will be awarded to the person who gives the highest amount of correct answers rather than the first to answer all ten questions correctly. I will also be posting a weekly winners announcement post on the Friday before the next quiz begins, which means you have 6 days to post your answers before the quiz closes for that week.
Time to announce this week’s winner!!
