Indeed we need realistically at least 12 entries to enable the competition to get going. tubber dont be a chicken, AOP isnt a total encyclopoedia. I was wondering whether people wanted to stick with the suggestion or to have a Ryder Cup style contest with two teams.

Well I'd like it to be, but it is the internet. Anyway the questions come from up in my temple and regardless I've never known a full mark score even with Google. So, shall we have a Ryder Cup style competition?

Well I would say yes, but everyone else needs some input on this. Sonny did say 'oh go on then' but deleted the post.

You could have a time limit to answer in to stop googlers of say 10 minutes.

Thats why I was going to state a 24 hour deadline e.g. Questions go up - you have 24 hours from then to pm answers to me.
So its a Ryder-Cup style competition then? With no problem abt the weather,
