# Apologies for anyone getting one of the small number of quizzes with a typographical error in the clues for questions 57 and 80, the numbers in the clues should be '31' and '23' respectively. In question 97 the clue has an 'H' missing. Sincere apologies to anyone effected by these and hope it did not spoil the fun. All received entries that were affected where given the benefit of the doubt when marked so none were disadvantaged.
