Wonderful and a miracle I got 3 @Mi-Amigo 😅

Tricky but fun. Thank you for the Brain Teaser 

Hope there won't be another too soon again, as my

brain needs to soak in the answers and recover from over-work🤣

Same here @TallTrees.

When @Mi-Amigo said it will return in the future, I nearly put LONG DISTANT future I hope? 😂

Thank you @Cleoriff @MI5 @pgn @gmarkj @BobM @TallTrees @Dave-O2 

Well done on your scores, as there were a couple of tricky questions - No 3 and No 9 especially [in my opinion].

As to the return of the Brain Teaser, the next one might be in a couple of months 🤔 ??

[jonsie]

My effort was after the 9pm deadline so couldn't count but I believe I got 8 correct? Or maybe 7.. @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you for your post @jonsie 

Sorry you were too late to enter the quiz but well done in getting 7 or 8 correct as some were tricky.

[jonsie]

A couple that took a long time thinking about but I got them wrong

My logic was ok though 😂

Sorry you are not going to take part @Oxonian 

With this kind of quiz, sometimes a wild guess can prove to be correct...

On reviewing the answers @Mi-Amigo, I think that I made a very wise decision not to compete.

But thanks for your hard work anyway, very entertaining. 😀
