So, if I had not turned up today, I would have got the exact same score! At least I wasn't totally last! What was I thinking of - I need a load of 10s after this!

Ten questions in and our top three are all averaging over 8.5 points-per-question, that's impressive work!

I think there's a bit of collusion going on there

Bah. Was close-ish with my original answer, but decided it was far too high so wrongly halved it.

I realised my mistake shortly after submitting; I was only thinking about households, I didn't factor in businesses and other public tree displays at all.

Aww I remember last year you'd post questions in the middle of the night cause you had a newborn.

Hard to count on a small screen but I think I am the median and demand my next 14 days score the requisite 10

You are, yes. But I'm not sure that's quite how it works. Sorry, I don't make the rules

davetherave

What the diced gods decided wasn't too far off what I would have said if I was calculating it out. 6 million population, divided by 4 to get households, minus 30% non celebrating, and then half and half for real/fake.


That's unreal though, I'd nearly roll some dice for the rest of the quiz. Hands though, not from the mouth, don't put dice in your mouth.
