@gmarkj

I'm not sure what I did.

I remember once seeing this question and there were 4 multiple choice answers.

3 of the answers had a decimal point, 1 answer didn't. I went for the wrong answer obviously. 😂

Far too hard for my brain to remember. 🤣

Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @gmarkj

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

Re-Q6 - with no alternatives to choose from [as @Cleoriff mentioned], this was very difficult.
