With hindsight and shared knowledge I reckon I may have 45 / 50 so prob a few shy of winning.

I think between us we had all the answers, maybe there is a morale for next year!

Good luck all

None here either - as per the last few years I'm sure that someone will have managed to bag a perfect score and take the prize (or in the case of last year, just one incorrect answer).

Oh ok, thats interesting. Does it say why its delayed for another month? The magazine takes a week or so to arrive here so I'm without my copy for another few days.

Literally just "Answers and winner of January's Christmas Quiz in April issue" tucked away at the bottom of p22, after the other competion winners. Nothing more.
Took a while to even find it.

Yeah, it's really strange. All the other years I still have copies of seem to have had the answers in the March Issue. Maybe they haven't emailed the winner yet -( though I guess I'm kind of clutching at straws).

They certainly said that the answers/results would be in this issue. My guess is that they suddenly realised that like the rest of us, they didn't know who had taken the quickest Ashes 5-for either!

April issue is reportedly out today in the UK. Anyone willing to type out the answers to the quiz so we can see how close we got?
