@Mi-Amigo & regular joiners of this WRQ. Just to know I got 1 geology (Science) question right = stratum / s trata - think of folded layers of sedimentary rocks on Jurassic Coast on England's southern coastline.....I thought of Ellesmere port & so daft me thought Irish Sea.....Knew there was a major river as described and would not have had a clue..... ..... so 1 question correct... = ... I would have got The Wooden Spoon ha ha ha 😁
