Alleyn’s scientists pitted their wits against opposing science quiz teams in local sixth forms yesterday for an hour of fun yet intense enquiry into their scientific knowledge.

The eight participating schools were Charter North Dulwich, St Thomas the Apostle School, The Elmgreen School, Dulwich College, the London Academy of Excellence, JAGS, Kingsdale Foundation School and St Saviour's & St Olave's.

Rounds on Engineering, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, General Science, Covid-19 and Famous Scientists challenged the teams with some tough questions. Here is a taster:

How far is 12 parsecs?

a. 39 light years

b. 3.7 x 1012m

c. 4500 AU

d. None of the above it’s a unit of time…

Answer: 39 Light years

We also learned that the electronics company Nintendo was founded way back in 1889!

The winner will be announced on Friday and we are hoping we might have pipped current cup-holders The Charter to the post!
