    ok you Quizzlestick fans. It's me - contestant called Michael. Had been on a few real quizzes when I saw an ad in The Stage paper. I applied. I got on. I looked at the quizmaster who had appeared out of nowhere thinking 'I know that guy' . We weren't actors and poor Peter next to me really was 100% confuddled and thinking he was on a real quiz. I was about 80% hence the occasional smirks.
    Good fun though. Watched Adam and Joe's earlier series. so cannot believe i didn't twig who it was.

    I'd rank Quizzlestick up there with Numberwang. In fact Quizzlestick is probably better as there are more crazy rules no one will ever understand with it.
    Before anyone else jumps in before me, I must say I must say 17 minus 2.4 and a half (as that is Numberwang).
