Thank you to everyone who entered the May Quiz. We can announce no one got all the questions correct and no one picked the correct tiebreaker number. But... we do have a winner! Congratulations to Dante Walton!!!
We will be sending out his two prizes this week - the actual framed photo of Gandalf that we used in the Wolverine vs Krueger video shoot plus a behind the scenes photo from the Billy Mays vs Ben Franklin video shoot - which is also framed & autographed.
Each month we are also going to give away a t-shirt to someone just for taking part in the quiz. This month lets make it two! For guessing 700 (and being just one number out on the tiebreaker question) a t-shirt will be heading to Gary (Kung) and Luciano (RelativeHope).
We will be launching the June Quiz soon and we will put up all the details on this news feed, as soon as we have finalised all the questions and prizes!
