The Christmas round of the Target Quiz League had that lovely family Christmas feel about it: arguments, disputes and some strange smells at the midway point. But it was Team Gnu who ended the day with the biggest haul of presents, overtaking the Meadowlarks to lead the league as we go into 2012. For those who had had enough of Christmas by November, many of the rounds had a non-festive element, but the picture round did contain 20 'famous' (hmmm) faces disguised as Santa (though it took a while for some teams to work out that the 'disguises' has been superimposed, rather than we just happened to catch them unshaven and wearing their red hats for the day). The music round was a combination of Christmas hits and themes from films that are on during the next few weeks. There were also rounds on the Royals, America, imaginary places and cartoon characters (there feels like a joke in there somewhere). As an extra half-time challenge, teams were presented with 10 test tubes, each containing a different 'Christmas smell'. It proved rather difficult for most to distinguish between their roast turkeys and their frankincense, but at least there were no sprouts. Thanks to all those teams who have taken part in the year's quiz so far, and we wish them all a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
This year, we have also decided to set a “homework” task, giving the teams the theme for one of the rounds in advance, should they choose to do some research. The theme for February's round will be The Beatles, so start swatting up for next time. It’s not too late to join the Target Quiz league. Any ‘absent’ team will be given the lowest score of any missed weeks, so it is always possible to catch up (especially if you do your homework properly!).
