The highest online solo score in last week’s quiz was 14.5 by Mike Lowe and the best team effort was 16 by Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe. Unusually, the online players couldn't match the 17.5 by last week's winning trainee Jonathan Bucks.
Here is this week’s quiz. As usual 25 questions about the week. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
