Andy Y Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas to everyone. It's time for the traditional Christmas time-waster in the form of the 2015 Quiz. Rather than making it a day-by-day process this year the whole quiz is a pdf download. Feel free to work through at leisure, some easy and some a little more challenging. Email your answers to info@rmweb.co.uk or PM me by the end of 31st December. Good luck! http://rmweb.co.uk/Christmas_Quiz_2015.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hmm, er, ah ... aghhh! An interesting horrific mix of the very easy, the not too difficult, and the downright awkward - quite a lot of the total being in the latter camp of course (including one of the tunnels - the other five are very easy, fortunately). Ah well we have a week or so to make fools of ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Martin Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Sooo... Firstly, Happy Christmas to everyone, Second, I've got 37 answers that I'm happy with. I'm missing two of the aerial photos and one of the "disused" sites. I'm well chuffed with myself for getting that far. On the tie breaker, are we supposed to take the length of tunnel #4 as the length of the longest of the three tunnels at the site, or the longest one that was a working tunnel when the photo was taken?

Andy Y Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ooh; good going. The tiebreak is there for if there is a draw in final scores (and a contingency beyond that). For No.4 it is the one in use in the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For No.4 it is the one in use in the picture. Sorry, I made a mistake in my last post. I meant tunnel number 3, rather than number 4. As far as I've been able to find out the difference in length between the longest and shortest tunnels in #3 is enough to make a difference to the tiebreaker order.

I too stumbling with one of the stations from the air... anyone else intrigued with one or two of those maps (not the easy ones) ? Griff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
