  1. Not to be ungrateful or anything, but I posted the answer to Number 4 less than a nanosecond after C and feel I deserve half...or maybe a quarter of a point for that one.

    I know C's answer is timed at 9.25 and mine at 9.26 but I can honestly say that C's answer was not visible on the page when I posted my answer.

  2. Thanks as always, Rol - can't believe how quickly all the answers were snapped up. Gram, I know the feeling re. the timing, we were undoubtedly typing it at the same time. That Rol is very strict, though....

  3. I may have "snoozed and losed" but still fun to play along before scrolling down to the answers. Would have got a few points anyway. From experience, as C says, it's all in the timing of who presses publish first!

    Great pic of Davy Jones at the top - Wonder when you're going to run out of "famous music stars with their camera" shots - Not for some time hopefully.
