Ah thank you @Mi-Amigo 

Not too bad in fact good for me.

Really surprised it is a Ram on the Faulkland flag I didn't know

(maybe they keep Sheep there ~ I will find out)

Interesting point by me:

Surprised that the actual answer to Colour Mixing is Blue

not a criticism of you at all as you are using an answers book 

  Cyan is blue (actually in my printing machine ~ cyan blue)

and Magenta (also in my printing machine)

is a purplish/red  so how could the book say when mixed it is blue 😄

using an interpretation is right and well done.

  My mixing chart would call this mix Voilet or Purple. 

Most artists use a colour chart and I enjoy Watercolour

and Oil painting.

Very fair and thoughtful of you to look at the veracity of some answers.

Well done everyone ~ very enjoyable.

Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @RafaC @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

As to the answers to some of the questions, when I receive what might be an "alternative" answer, I check this in reputable sources and if shown as possibly correct I`ll accept the "alternative" as correct.

I enjoyed that quiz, @Mi-Amigo - a great mix of topics, and nothing too impossible. 200th quiz next Monday, so fair odds there'll be a bicentennial question 😉

Well done this week, both quizzes, everyone.

One small point -

the 200th WRQ is on Wednesday [NOT Monday, which will be a "Numbers" edition with the answer to each of the 8 questions a number].

"Come in, number 9, your time's up!" 😆

Sorry, @Mi-Amigo, I missed that detail - and I know the one about St. Ives 🤫🤣

I look forward to the Numbers Game 👍
