Thank you @pgn @BobM @Cleoriff @MI5 @TallTrees @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - Thinkers all round, again 😀

That was a decent quiz @Mi-Amigo, hard enough to be a challenge but not so difficult as to be a frustration. 

As always, thank you for your efforts in collating it. 👍
