Thank you for your comments @gmarkj and @Cleoriff .

Whilst looking through some of my old books over the weekend, I came across a couple of facts, which I used to come up with a couple of questions in this quiz. I don`t think these are hard or difficult but, as you both said, might need thinking about.

Good luck both of you, and everyone else who wants to have a go at the quiz, I look forward to the pm with your answers later.

BobM — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 08:30:07 GMT

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for a good quiz and glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

Annoyed with myself though. Why did I put Uruguay when I knew it was Paraguay? And the darts question.... won't mention that one.

Well done everyone else. 👍

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo. Glad you're feeling better! Was a tough set of questions, but realised I knew a few for definite after taking my time. Q6 thanks to years of working away and Q7 thanks to years of secondary watching Friends via my sister 😅.

Well done, all!
