[Comben]

I had a feeling this WRQ was going to be a tough one for me and seeing the results I wasn't wrong.

Being last doesn't make me upset though, it just means I get to learn lots this week and who know maybe some of it will stick in my brain for future quiz's. 😅

Some great scores out there so well done everyone and a special thanks to @Mi-Amigo who makes this possible time and time again. 👍
