Photo Quiz 4.02 (now finished)

Post by jamesthegill »

Usual deadline, one week today, 8pm finish. The results will be slightly delayed as I'm traveling back from Stoke that night. Although if I'm really bored I'll do it from my Blackberry.

Both right: 2 Half right: 2 Completely wrong: 1

One point for both, half a point for one, a big fat lonely 0 for none.

The station in the distance is Heron Quays, taken from one of the platforms at Canary Wharf.

Those who guessed both right:
mullardo
moley
scrxisi
editorsfoot
gasman
dudey (who found the original picture as well)
Starkey7
jbom1
Lancaster Gate
perkyperky

Those who got one right, and one wrong:
Soup Dragon (Canary Wharf/West India Quay)
tubeguru (Canary Wharf/"I'm going to go for West India Quay in the distance because I believe Heron Quays has an overall roof.")

Those who got neither:
Going Underground who guessed St Pancras International. No, really.

I'd credit Going Underground for that, except for the fact that there's no station fifty yards north of St Pancras.

I didn't even notice a station in the distance but I suppose the points scoring should have alerted me.... :roll:

Also, St Pancras International is a *railway* station, not a station covered by the general rules for the photo quiz (i.e. tube or DLR as opposed to Overground/NR...not sure if Tramlink stations are allowed though).

Is Heron Quays a tube station then?

Someone's paying attention to my *ahem* deliberate mistake.

I'll stop being so smug now :oops:

I got this right, but I'm not mentioned in the roll of honour! Did you not get my PM?

I did, but the rules state I have to go with your first answer unfortunately.

Indeed, I have checked. Only one PM sent answering 4.02. If I've got it right, I want the glory!!

You know you're right (and this is why I don't delete my inbox until the following quiz has closed), I read your post about it being your "second go" and assumed you were making a second entry to the same quiz. I do apologise, and I'll update the stats accordingly.

Sorry, perkyperky :)
