August Quiz Results - Did You Win Prizes?! (Patreon)

Thank you to everyone who entered last months quiz. It was a close run affair.

The overall winner this month with a  unequalled score of 11 is... Polar Princessa! She is actually a Director tier level patron so she scoops both main prizes - the top hat from Lincoln vs Norris and the concept artwork from Artists vs TMNT.

The winner of the bonus prize (ERB T-Shirt, Pin Badge & Wristband) is... Whitney Wright! Everyone who entered had a chance at this prize just for taking part; but Whitney was the lucky random winner. Well done to you! 

Quick shout out to those of you who scored high scores, but missed out on top spot: 

In joint second place with a score of 10 we had a stack of patrons: Cullen Cole, Mr Magic, BonzaiBonzai, BTTF, PatTheGreat, Stephen Baker, MaxiRose, Andy Mason, Sting Of The Hill & CaptainRaveMan.

Special shout-out: Polar Princessa is the first patron to win more than one quiz since we began in April 2019. She previously won the Shakespeare book from Julius Caesar and TMNT concept art. So, excellent work Polar Princessa! You're either highly intelligent or extremely lucky. Or both! 

Commiserations to the rest of you. A new quiz will be coming later this month.

Here is a run down of the correct answers...

3) Which animal is the odd one out - Mandrill, Baboon, Capuchin or Ape? (clue: special) A) Ape [Mandrill, Baboon and Capuchin are all types of monkey. Whilst an Ape is a different species of primate.

Matt Damon was quoted in 2017 saying that the audience "might be done" with the character. So Bourne may be confined to "history"]

Bush and Nixon all served as Vice President prior to becoming President. Herbert Hoover did not. His run for the Presidency was helped when Coolidge declared he wouldn't be seeking a second term]

Jake Sully was the character in the film Avatar which was set on the planet Pandora. But there is no planet Dildo in tv or film - but the town of Dildo can be found in Newfoundland, Canada.
