Yes @Cleoriff - that`s true.

One question - and I`m not saying which - I came across by chance in a quiz book over the weekend and couldn`t resist including it [and, "no" I didn`t get it right when I tried ]

@Cleoriff

Good luck with your close look at the questions. Enjoy your time out.

@MI5

As I said, at least one of the questions is a bit trickier this time. Good luck.
