My comp was ok after the one crash, thankfully and managed to carry on searching, another idea Margaret is to email your team mate for the answers for you to send in

Very strange, however the teams that appear to have had problems look to be through into the next round and I am only waiting for one person's answers to arrive before knowing which team will be knocked out today.
Sadly, to date, it appears that it is members forgetting to send in their answers that have resulted in the teams being knocked out. That in mind, perhaps the answer is always to contact your team mate and ensure they haven't forgotten? Also, perhaps, to compare answers and double check before sending in identical ones because things are so close that half a point can separate teams in the shake up.
Currently there are at least 3 teams in =1st position today and possibly a 4th, as long as the remaining team member sends in her entry before midnight.
At least you should all find Friday's quiz fairly easy, I think.

PS: At least I got some much needed sleep last night Dave, you can always steal a march on the others and team up as a sales team for ESSW and in the other challenge. ;D After the mess the bank seem to have made of our recent deposits, the group is desperate for sales/cashflow so please get telling your friends about the great bargains they can find in the Flash and Grab sale!

Yes, and perhaps do it again soon, too, Ange. However, Jack did say that perhaps we say 10.30 p.m. next time, rather than midnight, as a couple of times he's been waiting around for one last set of answers and when all the rest were in much earlier. Just waiting on one set now. Al
