Hartnup.net quiz of the year.

264 words

Good idea, JC.

Twelve months, twelve questions. Answers can be found either in hartnup.net blog entries from the appropriate month, or from pages linked therein, or from vaguely tangential sources.

Email your answers to me — decoding the spamproofed address ten.puntrah@puntrah.nhoj can be considered a qualification stage.

All entries must be received by 5pm GMT on Dec 20th 2006.

The person with the most correct answers will receive a delightful Balinese pirate DVD of Poseidon, replete with hilarious subtitles translated from English to some Eastern language and back again. In the event of a tie, our panel of judges will adjudicate based on the tie breaker and their discretion.
