Just two entrants managed to answer all 10 questions correctly - but a lot of the answers did make us laugh. You can see all the answers here.
Congratulations to Lucy Steer at Cripps who was drawn at random (from a very small hat). With Cripps being a client, we were able to deliver her prize of six bottles of Chapel Down Brut just before a meeting.
A prize was also awarded to Chris Hobbs as he was the only other entrant who worked out which of our clients we had recreated in miniature.
Take a look at some of the behind the scenes photos below to see how the images were created.
