Wow everyone did so well in this quiz, can't believe I came joint last with 5 points. 😯
I stoked to get an award again because it's been a while, shame I couldn't get one more and get myself my second ever bronze thinker!

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, always grateful you put these together come rain or shine.
