Anything beyond that was a bonus, so I was very pleased just to make the final. I really had no idea who was likely to win before the final. Ray was an unknown quantity as I hadn't seen his semi. Like you I thought Ian's semi had some really tough questions and I knew his winning score was worth more. Rob Merrill had been very impressive in his semi, which was recorded immediately before the final. <br />The final was just as close as I expected. I think we all would have liked to have answered a few more but they were hard questions. There can't have been many finals which have been up for grabs midway through the final round for all the contenders.<br />By the way, as was mentioned at the recording, my father reached the final in 1980. We think that it's the first time a father and son have made the final. However, if anyone knows differently, LAM may well be the place to find out.Rob_Milneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411492385012780971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-43313654496531181992012-03-07T13:50:26.640-08:002012-03-07T13:50:26.640-08:00Hi dxdtdemon

I too was really impressed with that answer.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-57262041465874198442012-03-07T12:59:23.955-08:002012-03-07T12:59:23.955-08:00While I was impressed with everyone's play thr...While I was impressed with everyone's play throughout the final, I was extremely impressed with the guy who knew the name of the island in Lake Huron. Being an American semi-professional trivia question writer, I was really impressed that someone from another country knew a US geography question that I didn't.dxdtdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534247033439073645noreply@blogger.com
