Here are the answers to the questions and picture rounds I posted earlier today.

For those who are interested, I should have mentioned that my team finished on a score of 84.5 out of 100. By the end of the night we still hadn’t figured out why/how we’d come by that half point. This score was enough to see us home as winners, by 2 (or was it 2.5?) points.
