Depends if you need to know where Tripoli is

Which Tripoli are you referring to? The capital of Libya, or the city in Lebanon?

[Sam]

The one in Italy of course!!

[Going Underground]

The one where Michael Owen went on loan

If I was mean, all I'd say here is Steven Gerrard.

Oops, it's 20:26, I was intending to make this event...

[Starkey7]

Couldn't help thinking that starting at 5:30pm precisely would give you a major advantage, because you could plan a just-over-an-hour circular route, and just keep going around until you get a really good sequence of point-scoring stations. Then you could claim any starting time between 5:30pm and 6:30pm that you like.

First of all congratulations to everyone that participated in this challenge, it sounds as though the Tube part of it was very intensive, and there appeared to be a wide variety of routes taken!

Secondly, many congratulations to the Nordic Challengers quiz team, who not only grabbed the bragging rights out of the two participating quiz sides, but also won the entire quiz!

Scoring this was not entirely easy in a crowded, rather warm pub, but I am proud to announce the following results, in reverse order:

9th: Matt (scrxisi) 39 points - having only completed the Tube part of the event
8th: Steve (steeevooo) 78 points - having only completed the Quiz part of the event
7th: Martin (tangy) 113 points (35 tube points)
6th: James (mullardo) 124 points (27 tube points)
5th: Team Al (al) and Jonny (jonny) 124 points (46 tube points) -finishing ahead of mullardo on Tube points countback
4th: Hassan 131 points (34 tube points)
3rd: Peter (greatkingrat) 134 points (37 tube points)
2nd: Kevin (going underground) 136 points (39 tube points)
1st: Antony (soup dragon) 138 points (41 tube points)

Many congratulations to the medalists here, also to Al who I believe is the final leader of the medal table.

As can be seen, the inaugural record for the one hour challenge is 46 points, as set by Al and Jonny.

Bring on the summer games of 2012 - we've been better than Beiling and cooler than Canada, two and a half years to think up a witty slogan about London

Lovely in London?
