A decent collection of thinkers this time, well done all, and thanks for not going too hard in the Gold Thinker quiz after the mind-mangling Brain Teaser earlier in the week, @Mi-Amigo 👍🏼

[Cleoriff]

Surprised as 1 of those was a guess. Luckily it wasn't Yard Shut 😂🤣

Well done everyone. Thanks @Mi-Amigo xxx

[TallTrees]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Better than expected.

No one knew Melania's maiden name 🙄

Couldn't even make it up!

Age of Charles Dance, even if guessed would have got it wrong 😅

Hot flame 🔥  guessed.. so wrong!

Q4 gobbledygook .. 🤔

Q9 A very fancy word for a very unusual collector .. couldn't make that up!

OR did you make it up 😯

What we need on our teatime team is a Mastermind .. checking around 😂

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all.

[jonsie]

Well done everyone.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @Cleoriff @TallTrees @MI5 @jonsie 

Well done on your awards.

@Cleoriff - sometimes a guess pays off 🤔

@TallTrees - I honestly didn`t make up the word for Q9, and good luck in your search for a Mastermind to join the tea-time donut-eaters 😀 😋
