Brain of Britain 2013 - Round 1 - Match 3
Rob Cruise
Chris Gould
Sarah Greenan
Allison Jacobs
It was a very close heat this week with topsy turvy scores throughout. Everyone at one point was in with a whisker of taking the lead. Rob Cruise looked steady throughout though and was tending to give more consistent answers which allowed him to keep his nose in front. Despite some wild guesses (perhaps the question not being heard properly) this was a very good heat and very entertaining indeed.
The final scores were -

ReplyDeleteHi Daniel! Sorry to be a pedant but it's "Sarah Greenan". Russell Davies kept getting it wrong as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, I actually thought at one or two points he said "Greening"
How was the experience?
I have never been involved in anything like this before, so it was a very interesting experience. The need for speed in buzzing for bonuses took me by surprise: because the quiz uses a silent buzzer (lights rather than sounds) it is not apparent to the listener how important this is. I thought we had a reasonably tricky set of questions - no one managed five in a row. Naturally I was disappointed not to do slightly better, but it wasn't until I actually heard the broadcast that I realised how close a contest it had been. BoB has always been my absolute favourite quiz - I remember listening to it at lunchtime during the school holidays and that was quite a long time ago - and I am very glad that I had a go at it.
