Although please don't expect much because they are all pretty much guesses! It's like you give with one hand (Monday's pick the right answer WRQ) then take with the other (Wednesday's fiendishly hard WRQ). I'll have fun learning the answers though. 🤣

Mi-Amigo — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 21:13:01 GMT

Thank you @Comben

This WRQ wasn`t intended to be "fiendish" after Monday`s One Right Two Wrong WRQ, but maybe a couple of the questions in this WRQ are not so easy.

Comben — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 22:59:54 GMT

I was only joking @Mi-Amigo I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. I just really struggled with this one but that's more a shortfall of my knowledge rather than the questions fault. I do look forward to the answers though, because it can be just as fun learning the answers compared to just knowing them. 😀
