For the fifth year running we managed to organise a successful christmas quiz, thank you to all that participated! This year, we took a slightly different approach, basing the quiz on Trivial Persuit and "Who Wants To Be A Millionare?", written and produced by our esteemed President, Dr. Jeremy Cockcroft. With Dr. David Rowley bravely undertaking the role of Quizmaster, and booze freely flowing, the night saw the imaginatively named Name To Be Decided... romp to victory, claiming posession of the much sought-after CPS Quiz trophy, some chocolates and bubbly. The full results are outlined below:


The highest scoring undergraduate team, The Luciano Pavarotti Foundation For Opera Singers And Italian Beards, were also suitably furnished with chocolates, bubbly and the dubious honour of having the longest team name in the quiz (which was quite annoying as the scoreboard had to be extended to accomodate them). The winners of the caption competition (full results here) were Blondes Have More Fun, who consistantly delighted us with their off-the-wall wit. Finally, we couldn't fail to acknowledge the sterling performance of LSLS, who were the deserving winners of our wooden spoon. They legged it before we could present it to them. We're not even sure if they were chemists!

Finally, who could forget the picture round Simpsonised Staff? In what is in danger of becoming a CPS Quiz tradition, we mercilessly took the faces of 10 members of chemistry staff and stuck them through the Simpsoniser. The results are below, and I'm sure you'll agree, they're a lot easier on the eye than last year's mutants!


If anyone has any pictures of the event they want to post up here, let us know.
