OK, so the new quiz format managed to draw in 3 participants for last weeks quiz and while I would have hoped for a few more entries I’m still going to find the positives, which were that we welcomed another noob (@friendlymoose) to the quiz and that having this competitive element was an overall improvement.
I’ll be continuing with this new format as we go forward and depending on how things develop it may become permanent. This means that for tomorrow’s #beersaturday quiz the prize will be awarded to the person who gives the highest amount of correct answers rather than the first to answer all ten questions correctly. I will also be posting a weekly winners announcement post on the Friday before the next quiz begins, which means you have 6 days to post your answers before the quiz closes for that week.
Time to announce this week’s winner!!
Quiz participants were @friendlymoose, @mypathtofire, and @handofzara. All of them put in a great set of answers (or answer if I include @handofzara’s effort😂) and I greatly appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, effort doesn’t win prizes, correct answer do. So let’s reveal the answers to last week’s quiz and find out who has won the 5 Hive prize and claimed the title of Brewmaster General…
