Clearly you are the self-appointed Quiz Police. Just for the record boysinblue68, read this from a compiler of an earlier Macmillan Quiz FIVE years ago when you were moaning. Also AB’s own Editor has reminded you that this is a Q & A site and no restrictions will be imposed – despite your protests.

As the compiler of the Macmillan Summer Quiz I think I can put forward my personal view of using the AB site for answers.
As far as I am concerned the idea of the quiz is to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, which I'm sure you will all agree is a very worthwhile cause.
I try to include questions which cannot be Googled but, of course, cannot prevent questions being asked and answers being given on this site; and I have no intention of stopping it. Most contributors to AB are very friendly and will help where possible. It's just a club to which you may or may not wish to belong. If you join you must expect to play by the rules. If rules aren't broken then there should be no discussion!
I am quite sure that the people at the head of our 'leader board' each quiz research most of the questions themselves. I can usually work out who has asked which question and I can tell from the 'wrong' answers that some do confer with each other but I have no problem with that. That is why we have a few prizes for the 'also rans'.
I hope that ABers will continue to support the quizzes for what they are; fund-raisers. and I hope to do battle in the New Year.
