At the end of a school quiz, I collected the answer sheets and checked the scores. Two sheets had been handed in without team names, leaving me unable to match them to the correct teams. On another sheet, an answer had been crossed out and replaced twice; I could not tell which choice was final. The last round was worth two points per correct answer, but one marker had continued to award only one. In the totals column, cramped handwriting made one score of 17 look like 11.
Describe one difficulty the scorekeeper faced because some answer sheets were incomplete.
Describe three further difficulties the scorekeeper faced when checking the scores.
