Hi @Mi-Amigo

Thanks for the invite to quiz

Looking through the questions

Not likely for a terrific score as many not my interest and I'm not a quizzer really.

However I do know (maybe) 1 or 2 😜

From general knowledge or guess 🤔

The fish question is really interesting. I have given it a shot but know it's not correct. Looking forward to the answer.

Good luck everyone 🍀
