Hello @Mi-Amigo I shall have to think up some daft answers, which I am not good at and it somehow demeans all your efforts Mi-Amigo if I put up all 8 silly but not funny answers.

Good luck with pming me with your "daft answers" - you never know they might be right

In the past, I`ve had "daft" or "funny" answers which were right.

In no way, is any of this demeaning - in fact, it adds to the fun, which is what the quiz is intended to be.

To be honest, it's my own fault. I didn't read the pre quiz write up...just the questions. I had no idea there was a Q1 question until I had worked out my answers....then it was too late to go back. rofl
