Thank you @Cleoriff

I think the word you are looking for for today`s WRQ is "challenge"

Some of the questions I just stumbled across; others I had already planned... so tried to give a good mix of categories and questions today, but admit a couple of head-scratchers.

@Mi-Amigo

I actually love the silliness of the collective names of animal groups.

Murder, Crash, Unkindness, Conspiracy etc etc...... really daft when you think they could just be a flock or a herd...

I'd agree with that.

There was one question that I hope I got right but I struggled with it.......

@Cleoriff and @MI5

as you said, this might be one of the hardest WRQ.

I admit that I did change a couple of questions to the ones in this quiz as I thought the ones I originally planned using were too easy... Seems I may have gone a little too far the other way with these more difficult questions. I hope these don`t put anyone off taking part and that the regular quizzers will have a go -even if the answers are quesses - you might be right

No worries @Mi-Amigo and I'm not complaining at all. It was a head scratcher as you said...
