    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I shall confirm the winner sometime tomorrow, I've an appointment with nursey for a blood test tomorrow morning then probably lunch out then I'll subject your submissions to the utmost scrutiny and announce the result later tomorrow.

    Is it going to be Princess Sparkles' team or The Boss Lady's team, it is going down to the wire, will there be a a hung quiz (dead heat), will there be a request for a recount, will questions be asked in parliament!!?

    So far the exit polls are inconclusive, it's the real result that counts. Who will be the new prime minister erm quiz winner (got carried away there)

    To be continued...

    Without further ado the winner of Quiz 3 is *drum roll*

    Paula (Team Princess Sparkles)

    A big thanks to all who took part.

    Big laughs and much kudos to the one who gave the answer to question 25. "For which sport is Sam Torrence famous?" as "piracy and drag artists" So in the next Olympics I'll be watching a man dressed as woman with a wooden leg and a parrot on her shoulder shouting ahhh me hearties as she hops down the track

    I forgot to give the winner's point total (how remiss of me ) *fanfare* it was a magnificent score of 28 points (out of 30) which claimed the crown (or tiara) for Paula's team
