All thinkers this time - well done! Thanks, @Mi-Amigo, for another great quiz. We had the same stumps question at our weekly pub quiz this week, surprisingly - it did not stump then either, but there was some discussion over the three possible answers offered by the QM, and we selected correctly 😎

You and our QM must have a reference book in common 😂

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that Ray used the darts question in his last club quiz and I always check his questions and answers 🤣
