Time's up.
Ok then, let's start by revealing the table BEFORE we get into the unsavoury business of dishing out some bonus points.
After the 4 weeks of guessing, here is how the table stood:
1. Archie 17 2. Epworth 16 3= Hatter in Macc 15 Market Harborough 15 5= County Benno 14 Down Under 14 Jamesgill 14 8. Bringbacklenwhite 13 9. Dudley 12 10=Bradninch 10 Gazza 10 12. Nonleaguereview 8 13. Big Fudge 7 14. Shropshire 4

You were then paired up, and given the opportunity of sharing some bonus points (5 each), or trying to steal your opponent's 5 to give you 10. You were warned, however, that if both you and your partner chose to steal, you would each receive nothing.
I suspect some friendships are about to get irreparably damaged...

The first pair up, is Hatter in Macc and Jamesgill.
Maccy chose to SHARE James chose to....
SHARE
Each receive 5 bonus points.
Phew. That could have made tomorrow's walk awkward!

Next up, is Downy v Benno, who are currently tied on points.
Downy chose to SHARE. Benno opted to...
... SHARE
Each get 5 points.

Then we have Nonleague review v BBLW
Despite Lennie's apparent Mafia connections, NLR chose to STEAL, whereas Lennie, true to his word, opted to SHARE
NLR gets the full 10 points, Lennie gets nothing!

Next is Fudge v Gazza
Fudgie, as he said he would, SHARED. Gazza, meanwhile...
... also SHARED.
Each get 5 points.

Then we have the final 3 pairs, involving, with the exception of Maccy, those sitting at the very top of the table.
Bradninch v Market Harborough
Bradders chose to SHARE, but MHH opted to STEAL, meaning he goes in front at the top of the table! Bradninch receives nothing.
Shropshire v Epworth
Shrops chose to SHARE, whereas Epworth also chose to STEAL! 10 points for Eppy, nothing for Shrops.
This puts Epworth in the driving seat to win the quiz, unless Archie can take all 10 bonus points.
So, lastly...
Dudley v Archie
No surprise that Archie opted to STEAL (!), but if Dudley did too, he gifts the title to Eppy for his first quiz win....

But he chose to SHARE!
Which means, when we add the bonus points, Archie is our winner! Congrats, and please don't anyone fall out over this!
1. Archie 27 2. Epworth 26 3. Market Harborough 25 4. Hatter in Macc 20 5= County Benno 19 Down Under 19 Jamesgill 19 8. Nonleaguereview 18 9. Gazza 15 10. BBLW 13 11= Big Fudge 12 Dudley 12 13. Bradninch 10 14. Shropshire 4
Thanks everyone for taking part - the best numbers we've had in some time.
I'm away the week after next, so we can either start the next quiz then have a week's break, or I can leave it a fortnight and start again on Monday 13th April.
Up to you.
Cheers
Sandy

There's no joy in winning after shafling someone.
Well done everyone else.

Close but no cigar. I genuinely tossed a coin and went with that - nothing personal Shrops! Personally, I blame David Poole's wife. I was on for 5 points on the last week until she showed up.
One day, I'll win it, one day...
Thanks Sandy - all your efforts in coming up with the quiz and then managing the scores are truly excellent and much appreciated.
I'm away next week, so 2 weeks off is good for me, but happy to go with the majority.

At least you and Benno are copacetic Copacetic? There's a word we've surely not had on Heaven before! Pleased with fourth place, and with a share of the bonus points. Cheers, James. Thanks, as ever, to Sandy. Happy to go with whatever you decide as to the timing of the next one, matey.
