Once again, the brightest actuarial minds in the North West joined forces at the end of last year for the annual North West Actuarial Society pub quiz, hosted by resident quizmaster Nigel Jones at the Ape and Apple.
Once again, the brightest actuarial minds in the North West joined forces at the end of last year for the annual North West Actuarial Society pub quiz, hosted by resident quizmaster Nigel Jones at the Ape and Apple.
A record-breaking 13 teams representing most North West consultancy firms strove to be the deserving recipients of something money can't buy - actuarial glory.
As ever, the imaginative team names did not disappoint, with examples including Mercer's 'Trivial commutes' and First Actuarial's 'Small lumps ummm'.
The questions covered a myriad of both popular and obscure topics, including X-Factor runners-up, triskaidekaphobia and members of the Muppet house band.
The recurring Police Academy-themed question was met with a slightly mixed response.
Well done to the (somewhat surprised) Mitchell Consulting team, 'MC Hammered', for beating off the competition and winning the 2015 quiz, putting an end to Mercer's winning streak.
Congratulations are also deserved for a valiant effort from Michael J Field's 'Force Fields' team, and quiz newcomers Buck Consultants and Co-op.
