To win you needed a score of 100% and a good clue for a decider. Since I only got 98% (two misspellings) I didn't get close. Q19 and Q66 had the right answers but the wrong spelling! (that's what you have at present)

My clue to decide was:
Dr Crippen's crime was to administer uric oxide! (9)
Answer: UXORICIDE (killed his wife)
Anagram of URIC OXIDE
I thought it was quite good!

Q100 There were several popes who used this name. The last one appears to be in1623.

Spelling for Q19, third letter shoud be U (not E)
And for Q66, second letter should be E (not A)

to crofter
you did very well to get them all right and the tie breaker was excellent unlike mine i put take a look at this country
6 letters = uganda
no66 i have zacharaih for my answer is this wrong? as this is the correct spelling ive checked the spelling several times
I still cant find an answer to no 100 ,I cant find any composers starting with u Id be glad of any help as i must post it this week tiffy

100 The popes' name is URBAN

66 You should have ZECHARIAH (there are several versions) Note you have the IA in the wrong order in your posting!

19 MUST be UKULELE = anag of LUKELUKE (minus K)

Your clue could be a little sharper:
Leaders of Uruguay, Guatemala and Argentina meet in this African country (6) UG and A = UGANDA

[crofter]

tiffy The shame is that I had correct answers for ALL those answers that you got wrong!! There was little oportunity to check them "off-line" as it were.

I've just this week established the e-mail address given by <[email protected]> for ABers to contact me in similar circumstances in the future.

Happy Quizzing! :o)
