Notes
- Originally Klij won first place and Goldmintz and Goata won second, but after an appeal, all were awarded 1st place.
- Herzel was the brother of Balpor, the 1st Place winner the same year.
- Originally Chaim Werner was announced as the 1st place winner and Gilad Neumann and Israel Peles tied for 2nd place, but after an appeal and reconsideration, it became evident that the points were wrong. Following the amendment, Gilad Neumann, Adiel Levy, Israel Peles and Amos Beitan were announced as 1st place winners and Haim Werner as 2nd place winner (this is on the list of recent quiz winners on the Jewish Agency website).
