Answer submitted @Mi-Amigo - I wanted to get in nice and early this time, due to forgetting last Monday's WRQ. ⏰

In terms of the questions on this WRQ, I found them pretty darn hard and ended up guessing at the ones I could and making up answers for a few others. I'm not expecting great things but as always thanks to @Mi-Amigo for making these WRQ's - I think this fiendish one was the result of too many Thinkers last week! 😅

@pgnI made the same mistake as you initially. Luckily I copped on just as I was re-reading the Q&A before sending them in. Thanks anyway @Mi-Amigo for a great quiz. Will look at the other one later as I'm just editing a guide.

Well done one and all xx
