Thank you @Cleoriff

I hope you, and all the "regulars", like the categories and the choice of questions and have fun.

btw there is one QI-style question - where the answer is not what most people think - in this quiz...

I feel pretty good about today's questions! I guessed the space ones though. I love the nature-related questions a lot and geography ones too.

@LukasB

from previous WRQs, Space is always a popular subject.

@Marjo

Likewise Nature is popular - except for that never-to-be forgotten "trees" question

As for Geography, it is my least favourite subject but the regulars like it so it`s a learning curve for me when I search out a suitable Georaphy question for WRQ.
