| Setter: | Mike Wood |
| Themes: | Ian Fleming, James Bond, Thrilling Cities |
Results, Prizes and Special Awards
There were 36 entries this year, with just one "virgin" team sufficiently both shaken and stirred to enter.
The scoring is explained in detail in the solution document. This year reverted to the usual ATH scheme, the number of points awarded for a correct answer is equal to one more than the number of teams who got the question wrong or failed to answer it. Some of the codes (e.g. the Bond actors) there is one answer per item. There is one answer for all the theme tunes. The scoresheet gives the detailed breakdown.
A team can only win one prize.
