Last chance to have a guess for this year's quiz if you haven't already. If you've not entered so far, you can still win a Β£10 voucher by guessing how many bacteria spots the hand weight will have. We've had a great time again this year with our quiz, you've all been brilliant!

This is it, the final dipslide test quiz for 2023! For the final, it's 2 quizzes in 1! We want to know, will the exercise weight have more or less bacteria than the cat wheel from last week? Also, how many spots will it have (closest guess wins Β£10 voucher). Good Luck!

This may build up the tension even more but due to unforeseen circumstances, I will be in and out of the office this week so we are delaying the last quiz until next week. With our bonus question for an extra chance to win, we hope it will be worth the wait! See you then π
