Make it Maths and Geometry puzzles. Or Algebra equations.....


I love maths and used to be able to work out algebra equations/questions in my head but geometry and those pesky angles nooooo... Grumpy

but don`t think these would be too popular in the quiz Whistle

 

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

Nice to know that you play along @Anonymous . Shame you didn`t get any right this week. Hope you do better with the new one on Thursday with a couple of different categories and new questions.

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 joy

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! 🥈
