I didn't think research would come into it......the impression I had was it had to be all memory, akin to the TV show contestants standing in the studio and doing things on the fly. My route was basically the longest I way I could think of quickly! Thought a more direct one would get more points. The bit I find intriguing is that all the answers were different, but a few ended with the 211
After submitting this I wished I had put DX for question 6, as I saw one on the 368 outside not long after! I think there was a definite tactic of 'don't go for the big ones' which backfired quite a bit on a few questions! Such as nobody picking Go-Ahead for question 2, or the 38 for question 3. Such is the nature of the game I suppose. Definitely a good bit to exercise the brain though and hope there's more quizzes and questions soon
Unless Mr AStock5000 has bugged all our computers and put spy cameras in our houses then it's impossible to check if people are researching answers or not. I did all my answers off the top of my head except two where I checked a bus map for one possible answer to Q15 but I didn't use that option as my answer. The other was on Dennis Darts where I had convinced myself that Metropolitan Omnibus (who ran the 187 and 487 with weird looking East Lancs bodied single decks) had Darts. After some checking I found out they were Volvo B6s. Anyway I went with another "off the top of my head" answer to that question.
I don't normally do quizzes on Forums but this one was nicely structured and well put together so it was interesting and a little taxing but not beyond the realms of my knowledge. Still wish I'd picked EC as the VLA garage and Maidstone Boroline for the Citybus operator. I might have won.
