    Pah! Sore loser
    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.

    Not much happening on the quiz front let's see if we can get oodles of entries to put Team Sparkles under pressure.
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    this might spark a bit of a debate (but I'm going to throw it out their), but how do you know if someone's used google or nott.

    it says at the start don't use google, but you don't know.. the winner of this quiz could have googled all the answers or got the answers from another member

    I propose a discalimer:

    I, such and such a username, have answered all these questions indipendently of search engines

    I guess as my wise old mother would have said, cheaters only cheat themselves. It is for fun and my teenagers love letting me know that they are shocked I don't know an answer and love to enlighten me at the dinner table

    Exactly right and it would have to be witnessed by two upstanding members of the community

    I think I shall go to the local library (so my IP can't be tracked) and set up an account named OlderMike who purely by coincidence is age 71 with a biggish garden (no one would suspect it was me ) and amazingly OlderMike would get every question right
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    I know you wouldn't cheat but being of royal extraction you may have in your employ a butler who mysteriously leaves post it notes with answers to quiz questions scattered about
