♛ KRA Champions 2012 ♛
We had a lot of participants trying their luck in the scavenger hunt and most of them did really well with all the questions.
Four participants just were top and got not only all questions right, but also in a speed and accuracy which was astonishing.
It therefor was so very hard for us to decide, who of those four knowledge champions, should win and be our
KRA Champion 2012
So we came up with the idea to share the price and give badges of honour to all four of our KRA knowledge champions.
Here are the prices and options. The chosen itemn will get an individual inscription for each of the four KRA Champions:
The KRA Champions 2012 are:
- Berta Martínez
- Claire Clauss
- Mezz
- Fabi
The Winner to decide, where the donation goes, is:
The collected donation is £ 91,- and the charities which can be chosen are the selected charities of Mr. Armitage, assembled at his Just Giving page.
- IngeD3
Winner of the conference ticket by the Richard III Foundation:
- Carol McKenzie
A big Thank You to Ms. Joe Ann Ricca from the Richard III Foundation, Inc. for donating this extra price for the scavenger hunt! (See her late articles published on KRA here.)
Now, that the winners are drawn by lot, we can reveal the Solution to the KRA Quiz 2012. They also can be found on our quiz page and for those, who still want to have a go and test their knowledge, the questions are still open and solutions are kept separate to spoil nothing for you.
You want to know more? Servetus can help…
Servetus, our quizmaster coming up with those wonderful questions leading you all through fandom and history, will do a more in-depths explanation with links, tips and background information soon!
