Well i anything e-mail to me on Friday i will still look at - i think then i can announce the winner on Monday - then Freeola can choose what day the winner will be on (i would assume Tuesday lol)

At the moment you have a 25% chance of winning! But we don't want it to be that easy, we still need more people having a go.

I really would compete, but scanning through the questions I'd probably get about 4 answers right (no really, 4), and then be laughed at and heckled off these forums :(

Good quiz though, well done :)

Shame more haven't entered though. There;s still time!

Well i used an anagram creator to make this one - i think it is causing trouble to everyone, so i will put a hint out and anyone who has e-mailed me can send it again as i have not marked any yet.

Got to be fair! So hope this helps and expect to see you all answering this one easy now lol

Hint;
It is an early Gamecube game (very close to release, if not it was a release one)

gah! I knew I'd kick myself when I got the answer to that.

Perhaps your clue was a litlle too easy, Emmie! :D

Got all the anagrams now, just got to see how I did with the other answers, some of them will probably be wildly inaccurate.

Maybe it was a bit easy but like they say, its only easy if you know the answer. Some people may not get, if they know anything about Nintendo they will lol.

Well i still not many people involved but hopefully we can get some more. Any staffies reading - pass the message about in the office, they all need to join in.
