Cambridge may have beaten Oxford in yesterday's varsity match, but my team in the CILIP Sussex Christmas Quiz fared less well. I was honoured to be allowed to compete with the University of Sussex team, Adam, Chlöe, Ellie, Mell and Simon. We scored 100% in the first picture round, but were was less successful in a round which required knowledge of the price of everything and the value of nothing. Knowing where Neptune's Staircase is (a flight of locks on the Caledonian canal) would have done us no harm either.
Well done to the winners, the committee team, who triumphed after a tie break.
