Mac, I held a quiz in Guildford a few years back near to the university. There must have been over 200 people there in the pub, 60 questions and you got a bonus point if you brought your own pen. The winning score was 61/60 by a group of spotty students, One of the questions I asked was who scored the winning goal for Southampton in the 1976 Cup final against Man Utd. None of them were even born then yet they got Bobby Stokes right along with some very obscure other questions. They were disqualified and didn't get the kitty. You either know it or you don't, I hate cheats.
