Robert got 5 of these right and Richard claims to have had the same answers. Unfortunately the rules state that if a contestant unjustly queries the judges ruling then he forfeits any claims to achievement and participation certificates. Sorry but rules are rules. Furthermore, as Richard was going to receive half of the certificate that Robert might have been awarded that is now impossible as half of nothing is - well, nothing. Sorry about that Richard.
