Actually Dave I don't think it ruined the game. The clever part about Tom's quiz is that in order to win you need to supply answers that no-one else has thought of......this fool just reeled off some answers off the top of his head and none of them were particularly clever anyway! Even if he had submitted them by e-mail he would have stood zero chance of winning as he has neither the intelligence or the knowledge of the program to realistically compete.

These do in fact exist, but for my money they are much less fun then Rare Entries. The restriction on correct answers is usually lifted as well, further reducing the appeal (certainly from my side of the table!).

Oh shit.
I intended to send this to Tom. I must have hit "reply to group" rather than "reply"
I'm really, really sorry everyone. I swear it wasn't deliberate. A bad mistake for which I accept full responsibility, but I really didn't mean to spoil anyone's fun.

I don't believe the idiocy of some posters on this group....its just as well that DWRE7 will be an e-mail only quiz.

I don't believe the idiocy of some posters on this group....its just as well that DWRE7 will be an e-mail only quiz.
A smaller than usual field of entries, with just 28 people battling for supremacy; a battle won by Ceadge with an excellent score of just 216. Dave Woodley was second and in joint third place Simon Kinnear and Jonathan Morris. Wilf records his first entry outside the top five; in fact, he's outside the top ten!
CEADGE DAVE WOODLEY JONATHAN MORRIS JMOL 0 Derek Ware Eliz. Blattner Eileen Way Howard Lang 1 Dodo Chaplet Barbara Wright Vicki Sarah Jane 2 Gond City Vulcan Silver Carrier Space Station C 3 Motor cycle Milk float Parachute Mineshaft lift 4 Framing the Doc Tripping guard Guide for Leela Stopping Namin 5 Time Lords The 2nd Doctor Peri Sarah Jane 6 Jacq. Pearce Eliz. Parker Helen Blatch Pennant Roberts 7 Pipe A Dalek Ace's art block Dock bay doors 8 Snake Gallifrey Stonehenge Tardis doors 9 Platform One Gelth in theatre Himself Himself
To review the scoring: The scores on the different questions are MULTIPLIED to produce a final score for each entrant. Low score wins; a perfect score is 1. If your answer to a question is correct, then your score is the number of people who gave that answer, or an answer I consider equivalent. A wrong answer, or a skipped question, gets a high score as a penalty. This is the median of: - the number of entrants - the square root of that number, rounded up to an integer - double the largest number of entrants giving the same answer (right or wrong) as each other on the question
Here is the complete list of answers given. Each list shows correct answers in the order worst to best (most to least popular). >>> indicates that the "more specific variant" scoring was used.
Once again, an oaf on rec.arts.drwho thought it would be funny to post his answers publicly. I say "thought it would be funny" because this individual ("Lio Convoy") is a repeat offender and merely offered the ludicrous defence that he did not wish to pass on his email address to a stranger. Fine, then use an anonymiser, or don't enter. As a result of this action, I will no longer be posting DWRE competitions on news groups, although I may continue to advertise them there.
As usual, where legitimate answers duplicate those of the miscreant, they are identified with a *.
Another dope, who emailed me to ask whether the contest was still worth entering after this act of vandalism, proceeded to also post his answers publicly - this time, in error. Since this was in the dying hours of the contest, I have allowed the entry to stand.
[b]0. Name someone who was contracted to work on Doctor Who before 23 November 1963.[/b]
2 Peter Brachacki (designer, pilot) 2 Reg Cranfield (actor) 2 Rex Tucker (Director) 2 Terry Nation * 2 Verity Lambert 1 Anthony Coburn (writer) 1 Bernard Lodge (titles) 1 Daphne Dare (costumes) 1 David Whitaker (Story editor) 1 Derek Newark (actor) 1 Derek Ware (fight arranger) 1 Eileen Way (actor) 1 Elizabeth Blattner (makeup, pilot) 1 Gerald Taylor (Dalek) 1 Howard Lang (actor) 1 Jeremy Young (actor) 1 John Lucarotti (writer) 1 Maureen Heneghan (costimes) 1 Norman Kay (music) 1 Norman Stewart (Prod Asst) 1 Waris Hussein (director) 1 William Hartnell 1 William Russell
A nice easy one to start with. I have assumed that anyone who worked in any professional capacity on any episode of the programme known to have been in production before 23 November 1963 qualifies. With post-production, one has to be a little more careful, but only Norman Kay who provided music could conceivably have provided his contribution too late, and since he in fact provided music for the Pilot, he easily qualifies. The basis for the assumption is that even BBC staff directors and designers would be contracted to work for the BBC, and so if under the terms of that contract they are required to work on Doctor Who, they can be said to be contracted to work on Doctor Who. Those working for freelance suppliers like Shawcraft Models might also have been acceptable.
[b]1. Name a companion who appeared with the First Doctor[/b]
5 Ben Jackson 3 Dodo Chaplet 3 Tegan 3 Turlough 3 Vicki 2 Polly 2 Steven Taylor 1 Barbara Wright 1 Ian Chesterton 1 Jo Grant 1 Katarina 1 Sara Kingdom 1 Sarah Jane Smith 1 Susan *
This question was deliberately designed to permit Three Doctors and Five Doctors answers, which created a pleasing collision on Tegan and Turlough. Ben Jackson, however, is evidently the just-obscure-enough companion of choice.
I note that in general, this one-Doctor-per-question structure places a lot of emphasis on multi-Doctor stories. Thinking in this way does not always help entrants, however...
[b]2. Name a non-Earth location visited by the Second Doctor[/b]
4 Dulkis (The Dominators) >>> 1 The Island of Death 4 Gallifrey (The Five Doctors) >>> 3 The Dark Tower >>> >>> 2 Tomb of Rassilon 3 Moon (The Moonbase) 3 Space Station Camera (The Two Doctors) 3 Vulcan (Power of the Daleks) 2 Alpha Four Beacon (The Space Pirates) 2 Silver Carrier (The Wheel in Space) 2 Telos (Tomb of the Cybermen) 2 The Land of Fiction (The Mind Robber) 1 Gond City (The Krotons) 1 Omega's realm (The Three Doctors) 1 The Roman Zone (The War Games)
This question was originally "name an alien planet visited by the Second Doctor" until I realised just how limited the answers were (Dulkis, Vulcan, Gallifrey... er... er...). The entrant who answered "Gallifrey" was scuppered by one who answered "The Tower of Rassilon" - which I took to mean The Dark Tower - and another who answered "The Tomb of Rassilon" - a room within The Dark Tower.
I suspected that the three entrants who cited the Moon would be scuppered in time by one who answered - frankly, more obviously - the Moonbase, but it was not to be.
I accepted "Omega's Realm" and "The Land of Fiction" as the best names available for those locations. Once again, an out-of-era answer (Space Station Camera) does badly. You were better off sticking to 1960s stories.
[b]3. Name a mode of transport used by the Third Doctor[/b]
3 The Tardis 3 Wheelchair (Spearhead from Space) 2 Boat >>> 1 Speedboat (Planet of the Spiders) 2 Motor cycle (The Daemons) 2 Motor tricycle (Day of the Daleks) 2 Space ship >>> 1 Recovery 7 (Ambassadors of Death) 2 Teleport (The Mutants) 2 Walking 1 Cherry picker (The Green Death) 1 Diving Bell (The Sea Devils) 1 Hovercraft (Planet of the Spiders) 1 Land Rover (The Green Death) 1 Milk float (The Green Death) 1 Mineshaft lift (The Green Death) 1 Parachute (Planet of the Daleks) 1 Prison Van (Mind of Evil) 1 Stolen car (Spearhead from Space) 1 Whomobile
Lots of choice here, but again a couple of people fell foul of the more specific variant rule. Not surprisingly, "The Tardis" is one of the top answers, although with a larger field, I would expect to see it garner more votes, and probably the Whomobile too.
Nobody voted for Bessie - except rec.arts.drwho vandal Lio Convoy that is.
[b]4. Describe a use made of the Fourth Doctor's scarf, other than as an item of clothing.[/b]
6 A tripwire >>> 4 Tripping up Eldrad (The Hand of Fear) >>> 1 Tripping up the Master (Logopolis) 4 Framing the Doctor (The Leisure Hive) 3 Measuring squares (Pyramids of Mars) 2 Rescuing Romana from a cliff (Stones of Blood) 2 Unravelled as a trail through the Tardis (Castrovalva) 1 Bandage (Warrior's Gate) 1 Blindfold (The Face of Evil) 1 Guide for Leela (The Invisible Enemy) 1 Leaving a false trail (The Android Invasion) 1 Stopping Namin shooting Warlock (Pyramids of Mars) 1 Tie up an enemy 1 Tripping up executioner (Masque of Mandragora) 1 Tripping up guard

Given how more specific variants have been indicated in the other questions, shouldn't these be the other way around? "Time Lords" is more specific than "Gallifreyans" as the latter would have to include "Time Ladies", surely? Not that this would affect my score - I ask purely out of interest and curiosity.
