    I have to laugh, in the end its all in good fun. As for the quiz question, mobiles, ipad's etc are not allowed in answering the quiz questions, that was the reason i asked the question on a football forum for the answer as i would expect someone to actually know the answer without either cheating themselves or the quizmaster by using all the new fangled devices available that ultimately takes the fun out of a simple pub quiz:laugh::laugh::laugh:

    Hope you realise my response was meant with humour.

    However, on the subject of using IT to answer pub quiz type questions I totally agree with you. I used to go a Thursday night pub quiz in Bridgend. The winners could take a round of drinks or gamble all on the killer question for a cash prize of the total of team entry payments for the night (this would roll up each time if the killer question was not answered correctly so could amount to several hundred pounds - the record was nearly £1k).

    One particular night a team of 5 young ladies (none above early 20's) were the winners. Even then I had to question their knowledge and ability to get so many right.

    Anyway, just as the killer question was asked (quite a difficult footie related question as I recall) one disappeared to the ladies to come running out a minute later, Blackberry in hand, screaming "I've got it". Her answer was correct and they took the cash. The guy running the quiz was too stupid and timid to enforce the no use of IT rule. Needless to say we didn't bother going back to that quiz again.

    The other negative point from that type of quiz was that as the cash prize rolled up so did the professional quizers. One week we had a group from the Barry area who had appeared on Eggheads!!!

    Ah well, rant over.

    Power is knowledge and knowledge is power.
