The second round of the 20/20 quiz see's the final ten contestants take on 20 more questions in a bid to see who is the smartest and worthy of the one of a kind 20/20 cup (I'd have a picture, but Amazon haven't delivered it yet). Only the top FOUR will make it through, so be sure to tune in tomorrow as well for the second lot of results. As usual, good luck and thank you to all involved. Oh, and to make things harder; there will be no half points given in this round.
