February Quiz Results - who won the Thanos Mask?

We can now announce the results of last months quiz! 

It was a very, very, very close run affair.

There were actually three patrons who all achieved the same highest score - Kafokasdia, Bantha117 and Zachary Woolard.

As Zachary Woolard was the highest finishing Director tier patron he will be receiving the autographed ORG CHART that featured in the Musk vs Zuckerberg video.

But, who won the THANOS MASK?! The tiebreaker question comes into play, which was to guess which number between 1-1000 Lloyd was holding up in the photograph.

Kafokasdia guessed 419. Bantha117 guessed 177. Zachary Woolard guessed 588.

The correct answer was [drumroll]....

79!

So... as Bantha117 submitted the closest answer he will be the patron receiving the THANOS MASK. Well done to you! We hope you wear it with pride!

Commiserations to Kafokasdia and Zachary Woolard. At least you two stay looking pretty and not purple.

Also wanna give a quick shout-out to a few of you who scored high, but were just one point away from matching the top score: Josh Packer, FoxdocDylan, Eoghan & Polar Princessa. 

For the rest of you - there is always next time folks! :) We try to make these quizzes rather tricky, so that no one can win purely by googling stuff. 

The average score this time was 6 outta 19. The three joint highest scores were 11. So, you just need a bit of skill and a bit of luck to be in the chance of winning prizes.

Here are the full answers to the questions...

1) After my death I was dressed in my armour, sealed inside a metal coffin and dropped into the sea never to be found again - who am I? A: Sir Francis Drake [He had suffered a number of defeats fighting Spanish America and shortly after one bad defeat he died of dysentery. He asked to be dressed in his full armour and his coffin was placed into the sea near Portobelo. Modern divers have searched, but his coffin has never been located]

He portrayed the President in the film 'Air Force One'. And as Han Solo he was killed by his son Kylo Ren in the film 'The Force Awakens']

3) Abraham Lincoln was a big fan. I was more famous after my death than during my life. I am a weakish speller. A: William Shakespeare [Lincoln was a huge fan often going to see Shakespearean plays and referencing the playwright's work in letters - he particularly loved Macbeth. Shakespeare himself grew in fame throughout his life but it is only since the late 17th century that he's been considered the supreme playwright and poet of the English language. "I am a weakish speller" is actually an anagram of William Shakespeare]

4) I am very rich and made a big splurge on aircraft. I like listening to Weezer. I can't speak any foreign languages. Am a big fan of the Da Vinci... code. A: Bill Gates [He has a $40m private jet which he has referred to as his 'big splurge'. His favorite bands are Weezer and U2 and he's admitted one big life regret of his, is not learning any foreign languages. In 1994, he paid $30.8m for Leonardo da Vinci's "Codex Leicester," a 72 page manuscript that dates back to the 16th century]

5) Which is the odd one out - Tornado, Hurricane, Cyclone or Typhoon? [Clue: slippery] A: Tornado [Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; we just use the different names for these storms in different geographical areas. Whereas Tornado's form spontaneously, usually over land, are short-lived, and traverse a much smaller land mass by comparison]

6) Which planet is the odd one out - Earth. Mars. Venus or Mercury? [Clue: triumph] A: Earth [Mars, Venus and Mercury were all named after Roman gods. The name Earth actually derives from the eighth century Anglo-Saxon word 'erda', which means ground or soil]

9) Which combination is the odd one out - a worm & bottle, an eagle & snake, bear & hat or donkey & stick? [Clue: wave] A: A bear & a hat [A worm (technically a moth larva) is often found in the bottom of bottles of Mezcal - a similar drink to tequila - which is the national spirit of Mexico. An image of an eagle devouring a snake appears on the Mexican flag. A piñata is a container filled with small toys or candy which are broken as part of a ceremony or celebration - traditionally they are shaped as a donkey and beaten with a stick. Whilst a 'bear and a hat' is the odd one out as it represents Paddington Bear who came from Peru and has no Mexican connotation]
