QUIZ RULES EXTRACT

8. IN THE EVENT OF A WRONG ANSWER:

If a submission to the quiz is incorrect, but there have been no further posts, the author may edit their post, so long as the original is shown as crossed out. After striking through an incorrect entry, you must use reply rather than edit to post your new entry. This aims to prevent confusion to allow for smooth proceedings.

If there have been further posts, either of two circumstances should occur;
i) The author states their position, thus making any posts after the original superfluous. The original incorrect answer should be crossed out. The game is then continued by a different individual, starting from the station before the incorrect submission.
ii) Another individual states their suspicion, which is then confirmed by another player. Anyone is then welcome to continue the game, again starting from the station before the incorrect submission. Again, the incorrect answer should be crossed out.

If you are unable to cross the answer out, due to reasons beyond your control, you should only edit to a statement giving an acceptable reason. You should not make another posting until another person has posted.

If the post is edited, then it will be assumed that the entry has been changed, unless a clear reason is posted in the reason box.

9. Any entry that has been edited or deleted without good reason will lose 25 points from that leg.

In order to preserve the sanity of our accredited adjudicator and scorer when he comes to scoring each leg, it appears that the above extract concerning rules 8 and 9 of this quiz needs to be posted, especially with regards to how to deal with the matter of an incorrectly-made posting and its subsequent replacement if made on the same thread posting.

'Conniving'? Since when have I been conniving?

You're quite the selective conceder yourself...

Anyhoo, the next leg will begin at Ben Rhydding
