Chief Exec's Xmas Eve Quiz - Individuals
Rules
You have 45 minutes to complete it once you start and some of the rounds may have their own time limits to discourage Googling answers.... (time limits are show in the bottom right corner)
Please don’t cheat (too much) - it’s all in good fun and the prizes really aren’t worth sacrificing your integrity for! The highest scoring individual and team will get a small prize each (and the kudos of winning) along with a consolation prize for the lowest genuine-looking score. If there is a tie for the top spot we have some 'live' tie breakers planned.
My (Mark Stone's) decision is final and the master answers are now locked into the quiz. Read the instructions next to questions about how to lay out your answers to make sure you don't miss out on points.
Guess the punch lines to these cracker jokes - We'll only accept the answer printed on the jokes we found, even if yours is funnier.
