ColdFusion Birthday Trivia Quiz

A big thanks to all those people who attended the national user group meeting that we had together in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne & Canberra last night, and to our two presenters Geoff Bowers & Nick McNaughton.

One of the highlights of the night was a CF Birthday Trivia Quiz that was in two rounds, state where each city conducted it's own quiz to choose a state champion, and national where the champions went head to head via Breeze with Brisbane the ultimate winner (after questionable scorekeeping by yours truely).

For those of you interested I've included the first round quiz questions that I put together from various different sources, apologies for any uncredited work, please use freely if you find these of any use.
