Hi @Cleoriff

To be honest, yes there are three questions - one in each of three categories - which are rated "difficult".

I won`t spoil it by saying which they are but will reveal which when giving the answers on Wed.

Good luck everyone.

Well done all, in the face of all adversity: a couple of stinker questions (buloke, bull-oak 🙃), and a chance that image posting may have been up the left, or not up at all... Thanks, @Mi-Amigo!

Cleoriff — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 07:11:12 GMT

Re the wood question. I'd heard of it but all I could remember about it, it was found in Australia. 🤣

Well done all.
