Oh, and one last thing, would you mind if you didn't post any answers up here until we get a decent leaderboard going :P To enforce this rule, I'll let power corrupt and edit all your posts ^^

Cheers guys.

Hey hey, sorry I've been away for the past couple of days, I somehow managed to remove my computers ability to display graphics or colour of any sort ^^

Anyway, I'll just check my e-mail, and I'll put the answers up this Friday, so sit tight :)

Alas, trish, not enough for first place, but the answers you did get right, you got right with remarkable precision! :D

Dragonlance and I are still looking for a "first-second" finish!

Ah damnit!

Poor Nin :P

Perhaps next month, as I'm planning to do another one now :)

That would be awesome :) Count me in for another.

I was thinking you could probably do a picture round - that would certainly rule out cheating!

I was thinking of doing a Game quiz in the games forum, but struggling to find a balance of questions. But won't I compete threads with this one yet :p

I have to wait another month to beat her?
I hope there are plenty of music and non sci-fi questions. She'll be stuck as she knows nothing about music or good tv.
