Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you think today`s WRQ is a "nice quiz".

As to the marbles question, not sure if it was in a TV quiz, I got it from a nice book I have which mentions such unusual events in the UK during the year.

I don`t know if any of the questions in today`s quiz are head-scratchers  this time...
