Do we need a stewards inquiry re. Team Sparkles, do we need to do a computer inspection to see if there has been any unauthorized Googling or accessing Wikipedia or the online version of Encyclopedia Britannica, it has been reported that a shady character has been seen in the vicinity of the Palace Sparkles carrying a brown envelope clearly marked "Answers to DWD Quiz 7"
