This winter dozens of readers spurned a second helping of turkey so they could revise for the Christmas Quiz, 12 fiendish posers culled from the top stories of 2014 (all collected here).

Despite strong efforts from many, only a handful answered every question correctly. RollOnFriday picked a winner at random from that select band, and they are...for 2014...Alex Tanner of AIG! Given the choice of a Kindle, £100 of Amazon vouchers or lunch with the RollOnFriday team, Alex spurned the finest reconteurs this side of David Niven and picked an electronic library. It's fine, RollOnFriday prefers dining alone, as has done every year. Every. Year.
