It's a battle.
The EE Life Techno-Pop! Quiz leaderboard remain unchanged this week, however, newer entrants are starting to close the gap between themselves and these early leaders.
Leaders Jeferson Camargo de Oliveira, Frank Froelich, Malcolm Stagg and Adam Petersen scored perfect 10s; They were joined in the winner's circle by Vincent Rheaume.
But Rheaume and Cejo Lonappan are chipping away, moving up the board with 22 and 28 points respectively, just behind Jason Sellnow (34), Adam Petersen (38) and Michael Maassel (40).
This week's quiz is ready. If you dare.

This is a good initiative. I feel sad to have missed out on participating earlier. Is there a link to the leaderboard? Also, how many weeks has this quiz been running since?
