Or have you forgotten already? :-) I passed (had to get 21 or over) and got 23 out of 35. Didn't do too well on the first round or trying to remember that shopping list but got full marks at remembering all the facts from 'The Bourne Supremacy' (haven't actually seen it) and also from the final round, where you had to remember things you had seen tonight on the show.

Cherie, I thought my memory was pretty good, it seems quite capable of absorbing useless pop trivia, but put a load of matching symbols in front of me and try to remember where the matching one was located and I was floundering like a fish caught in a net! Jan, Lol, go easy on him, that cold is still probably playing havoc with his concentration! See you Saturday. Andy

At last I have the proof - husband put down my answers as I was knitting and couldnt get through on TV. He has a rotten memory - have been telling him so for years and years and years. He scored 17 out of 35 and I got 27!!!!!!! He cannot argue with that as he was keeping score. Ann

We did the test. David got 22 and I got 26, in spite of falling asleep at one point and missing 3 questions. I had most difficulty with the film and the supermarket items. CB >|<
