Those seem to be a step-up from recent quizzes @Mi-Amigo ; have you decided to clamp down on excessive scoring ? ❓

Anyway, my PM is waiting for you with the word "Pass" featuring prominently ! 👍

Thank you @Oxonian

Not so much a "step-up" this time, but some questions I came across while searching out and coming up with questions for this quiz and hoped it is a good mix or easier and not-so-easy questions.
