That was super though; fair dues all for solid scoring, all things considered! And nothing for being solider than the rest.
In true quiz style, I'm going to give myself a mark for the one I had right and changed (the Russian/Polish artist), so I was fourth really :p

Sorry CDEB that was just a typo in the reveal and to be fair I'm surprised it's the only one. So far.

Congrats nothing, that was a superb performance!
Thanks Wichy, great questions and reveal. A huge amount of research went into that and a lot of work collating the answers and scores. So ... When's the next one?

Congrats to Nothing - it was the Specialist round that sealed the deal for you, although your General Knowledge was really good too. Well done to the joint seconds and joint thirds, and hard luck - you were very close. Hard luck to the joint spooners - the Specialist round did the real damage.
Well done Mr. Lineman - a lot of work went into this, and it was was well hosted.

Congratulations Nothing, very well deserved - a perfect specialist subject round followed by a great general knowledge round, that was a deadly combination
Thanks for the game Wichie, a truly Herculean task running this game, well done

You deserve a medal for putting all that together Wichey, thanks for a great game. And congratulations nothing, anyone who gets the only perfect score of the game really deserves to be the winner.

I got very lucky on the general knowledge round, not sure I'd have gotten 7 in anyone elses!
@Wichita Lineman thanks for a great reveal and game!
Well done @Zaph and @DejaBoo
Hard luck @Neowise

Is Maroon and purple not the same?
I guess though if they were called Purple 5 they wouldn't have been as successful!
Congrats @nothing superb scoring and to the guys on the podium.
Thanks for the game @Wichita Linemanreally enjoyed that.

Sorry Kol, I did expect a little quibble on this but I've never heard Westmeaths colours being described as purple in the same way I've never heard Cork's red called pink.
Also if Prince had a song called Maroon Rain would it have worked out as well? Maybe Spielberg should do a remake and call it the Color Maroon.
Purple v Maroon

I have to say I was impressed with the standard of answering because I have no problem in saying it was a tough quiz. I set a lot of quizzes for family, friends and even externally and i know a lot of them would have struggled with many of these.
But, it was based on Mastermind and thats a tough quiz. Winning scores on the show would often be around what @nothing got - 17pts so we have a worthy champion and it wasnt a runaway either.
Thank you all for taking part and for picking interesting and challenging topics which although it was a bit of work for me I really enjoyed.

Well played @nothing, some fine scoring there!
Congrats to @DejaBoo and @Zaph too
Thanks Wichi, some undertaking there!
Happy with my scoring, but wasn't good enough. Glad you just copied in my answers rather than the rambling essays I gave you each time. The deepest tube station was annoying, I said it was probably where it went under a hill but then totally forgot about Hamstead Heath, should have got that
Haven't looked through everyone else's general knowledge questions yet, will do that later

GreenandRed hit a few nice points and ends with 6
just catching up, I’ve only got as far as my score but I’ve a couple of corrections. Horan has definitely managed them to six, I see wiki has five but he was there for 11,12,13 & 14 and 20 &21. And Cora’s team arr the greater western giants.
im sure it’ll make no difference, right? Right??

Well done Nothing, that was a serious performance in the specialist round. Reading some of the other general knowledge rounds I feel mine were quite easy in comparison.
Great quiz, some serious work gone into the questions, I felt mine were very fair at least

You are correct on the James Horan, it gives the total as 5 but lists out 6 years and i missed that. You would have 15. Does not affect the podium.

WL, thank you very much for organising this. I can only imagine the time and effort you put on this and I really appreciate it!!
And congrats nothing, you seem to know almost everything!!!!
