I love maths and used to be able to work out algebra equations/questions in my head but geometry and those pesky angles nooooo... 
but don`t think these would be too popular in the quiz 
btw @jonsie I guess you got The Who question right? How did you get on with the others?
@EmilieT did you get the chemistry and literature ones right? I`m just curious

Thanks @Anonymous
One was a lucky guess. I was ok with Wuthering Heights as I read the book. The Who was easy (for me) as I am as much a fan as @jonsie
I suppose the fact I do quizzes helped with the others...as well as being a fan of motor shows

Well done, @Cleoriff!
That Thinker looks a bit chilly tho - seems to be the norm with guys dressed in silver:
A better score than the 4 I would have got! 🥈
