So last night we held the LBi Tech Department Quiz. It was a well attended affair with over fifty of the company’s biggest brains battling it out for the glory. To the poor sods that couldn’t come because they had too much “work”, you missed out. Better time management next time please.
Brett’s team, The Orsborn Identity, led from the start to the almost finish. Sadly, they decided they were too clever to even bother answering the MacAulay round, and as a result dropped from clear first to 5th. So they won The Idiot Award for Grabbing Defeat From the Jaws Of Victory.
The final scores were:
- 65 – Carvill’s cavaliers
- 65 – Tian and the Validators
- 62 – George’s Cosmic Treasure Hunt
- 59 – Raul’s Regular Expressions
- 58 – The Orsborn Identity
- 57 – Bahar’s Brainy Boozers
- 42 – Phil’s Testing Titans
Congrats to Paul Carvill and Tian Yuan for leading their teams to victory. For those that want to join in the fun, see the pictures from the Spot The Techie round – click the image for a bigger version.
Finally, the group that won the Late Drinking Award were the Technical Architects, many of whom can be seen in the picture below. It might be a coincidence, but five (yes five) of the people in the photo below are also in the Spot The Techie competition above. Maybe that helps. And Tom B, I hope your head is feeling better by now.

It should be noted that my amazing team, ‘Rauls Regular Expressions’ had the least people on it. We would have won if we had as many folk as the two winners I am sure of it!!!!!!

The Cosmic Treasure Hunt should have won it but the trouble with pub quizzes is that they’re in a pub and the spirit of Thornton Melon was with us
“Bring us a pitcher of beer every seven minutes until somebody passes out. And then bring one every ten minutes.”

And given an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters I’m sure your team could also have come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Or Sharepoint.
Suck it up, Mr. Bruniges.

Wow, just come out of my coma – what, were we in the pub? Conclusion of the evening is: ESB is evil. So tasty and yet so deadly…
