The Waters Green Weavers' second set of questions this season seem to have been OK for the teams that went "first first", but those that started second found them almost as tough as any we've had this season. The teams that went first in the Specialist questions scored on average 98% of their average scores, compared with 85% for the teams that started second.

The pattern was similar in both sets, but the Specialist questions were a lot harder than the General Knowledge (according to the spreadsheet). In the Specialist set, the teams that went first scored 92% and those that went second managed only 81%; in the General Knowledge the figures were 102% (for those that went first in the Specialists) and 87%.

The Entertainment marks were on the low side – especially for the Specialists. They were better in the A League than in the B League.

On the Forum, one or two people have commented that they found the questions rather tough, but no specific issues are mentioned. In fact we might say that comments about the questions are on the whole quite favourable.
