The Final Shelfie Quiz - answers revealed!!!

Thanks again to all of you who participated in last week's shelfie quizzes, whether it was by generously contributing a shelfie, or by having a go at the quiz.  Here are the results of Friday's final test of your deductive skills. 
Shelfie Number 1 produced an interestingly divided result: 18% of you correctly judged that it belonged to Mr Kerr, although 20% of you thought it might be Mr Jacoby's:


Shelfie Number 2 was easier. 29% of you thought this was Miss Waterfield's, and you were absolutely right:


An impressive 55% of you correctly concluded that Shelfie Number 3 belonged to Professor Bailey - which put the High Master in joint second place with Mr Smith in the contest for 'most recognisable shelf': Miss Douglass and Miss Kemal-ur-Rahim were joint third with 46%, but Mr Hager remained unchallenged in first place, with an unassailable  62% recognition for his collection of Moby Dicks. 


Shelfie Number 4's unorthodox vertical stacks belonged to Mr Warriner, as 23% of you rightly thought:


Shelfie Number 5 proved a challenge, and threw up the most unpredictable results: 22% thought it was Mr Kerr's, 16% thought it could be Mrs Graham's or Miss Waterfield's, and 15% thought it had to be Mr Warriner's.  But it was actually Mr Jacoby's, and only 12% of you got that right:



Shelfie Number 6 produced a tie, with 16% thinking it could be Mr Block's, and 16% correctly deducing this collection belonged to Mrs Graham:



Shelfie Number 7 was Mr Block's, but only 11% of you thought it might be - instead, 33% were convinced it was Miss Waterfield's:



Shelfie Number 8 was identified as Mr Bourne's by a reassuring 36% (possibly honing in on the Pauline Yearbook, as a give-away detail):


Thanks must go once again to all the teachers who contributed to this fascinating series of quizzes: we hope you all enjoyed them, and that they've inspired you to seek out some interesting books, and quite possibly colour-code (or even vertically stack) your bookshelves ... !
