What a lovely quiz @Mi-Amigo 😂

Except perhaps Q8 which will need a real dig into my memory bank. (Just like Sherlock)

Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you think this is "a lovely quiz".

I think there is one question which you might well like and another which you well don`t like 😂 and Q8 just needs a bit of thinking about... 😁

I would say more challenging than lovely, @Cleoriff 😂😅. I'm not feeling too confident about these but will get some answers over to you soon, @Mi-Amigo 👍.

Thanks!

You didn`t do too bad last time - getting a Red Thinker.

Look forward to pm with your answers later.

Thank you @Cleoriff

Good to know the chemistry question [the one I thought you wouldn`t like] hasn`t caught out out.

Look forward to pm with your answers later.
