There were wins for both Guernsey and Jersey in the final round of an annual quiz between the islands' schools.
After a number of knock-out stages four teams remained in the 2025 de Putron challenge, which took place at Les Cotils in Guernsey on Tuesday.
Guernsey's Blanchelande College came first in the year 8 competition beating Jersey's St Michael's Prep School.
In the year 6 round, Jersey's Victoria College came out top ahead of the team from Guernsey's Melrose school.
Ava, Sienna and Charlotte from Guernsey were the 2025 year 6 runners up.
Despite not winning, the Melrose team were pleased with their performance.
Charlotte, 11, said: "It feels really good because we are the best school on Guernsey.
"So even if we didn't win the whole thing it feels really good to get into the final."
Their teacher Sarah Morris was also impressed: "I felt frazzled and I was sat on a chair and I wasn't having to answer it in front of everyone.
"They did really well and I'm very, very proud," she said.
