Pop Quiz Hotshot...
It is time for the inaugral Money For Old Rope quiz. Aren't you lucky people. It won't be like the old days of school where you had to learn the 16 times table rote fashion or the capitals of every East African nation. No, this one is open book; you have all the information in front of you.
What awaits the winner? A Car, a Speedboat, how about a set of steak knives; no, actually you will just get eternal adulation when your name is printed next to your winning answers on this blog. Just email me the answers or leave a comment on this blog. I will announce the winners tomorrow.

Firstly the big reveal ... I am the same person as previously posting under Andrew & Renee for our Heart Kids in Australia Blog.
Having a law enforcement background I am quite sceptical and cautious about the Internet having writing under a psuedonym however given my decision to follow Paul's lead in relation to uptrading for a heart charity (following correspondence with Paul out of respect), I need to be transparent and thus you now see my name is Tim ONeill. Paul was aware of this but respected my wish to use a penname. Note I did not try to hide this at my Heart Kids site clearly indicating the names were psuedonyms.
Anyway I am extremely excited about how much traffic and interest is being generated by money-for-old-rope ... well done Paul.
Keep up the good work and I will still be back every day.
By the way, the answers to the quiz ..
a,c,a,b,c,c,b,a hopefully I have them right and haven't copied them wrong.
Am I correct ... am I first
Close but no cigar for you. No cigar for anyone actually because there is no prize for this quiz.
Keep the answers coming and see if you can beat Tim's excellent attempt.
Paul.

One more very close answer, my two previous trading partners are both in the lead with 7 out of 8 each.
Can you beat them???
Whoops ... my mathematics has failed me .. mmmm 1 in 100 would be closer to 8 in 1000 rather than 80 in 1000 .. bugger .. that's what happens late at night.
I think Angela may have made a mistake on the letter on 3 or is she making a Beckham statement?
Summary
Let go again .. do we get a 2nd chance??
a,b,a,b,c,c,b,a
Congratulations,
those are the correct answers. I'm afraid that the rules of the game are that only the first answer is accepted. But well done anyway.
Paul.
