[BobM]

I enjoy these type of things, thanks @Mi-Amigo for running it.

Well done all, especially my fellow 100%-er @pgn 👍 😜

[Cleoriff]

Oh I feel so annoyed. I knew Q2 and misread A to D.  I honestly thought I had 9 correct. Boo Hoo 😂😂

Not to worry, I did well for someone who hates these things 😂

Well done all. I knew @BobM and @pgn would get them all so congrats 😘

Thanks @Mi-Amigo. xx

[pgn]

Woohoo, go me and @BobM 🎉🤜🤛

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo and good shout all!

 

[gmarkj]

Happy with that result. Had no clue about Q6 and 5 was a guess too.

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Cleoriff]

@gmarkj 

Q6 was one of those questions where you go: Of course it is!! (when you see the answer)

I sat and looked at all words meaning touching....still couldn't get it!

[TallTrees]

Well done me 🙄

After posting thought "no. 4 was Johnny🤔"

Good laugh though and thank you very much

for checking and listing such a fun game @Mi-Amigo 

[pgn]

One round of the 10 in the weekly pub quiz here is on "Dingbats", or "Say What You See".

I'll fling one up here later, for those who want to try and dry their brains completely... 🤣

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM @gmarkj @Cleoriff @pgn @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the Brain Teaser quiz and well done on your scores.

[Oxonian]

Thank you @Mi-Amigo for organising that ; that sort of quiz isn't really my scene and my mark exceeded my expectations. 👍

Well done to everyone else and particularly to our two top scorers ! 😀
