Thank you @Cleoriff and @LukasB for your comments.

I guessed the "hurdling" question would be tricky but did not think it would stump so many quizzers.

 

I`m pleased quizzers had a go at the "sculpture" question [the subject was suggested by one of our regular quizzers].

If any member has a particular favourite subject [not just category] please pm and I`ll see if I can find a suitable question and include it in a future quiz.

Designed to trip you up, and it worked! 🤣
Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo, and well done everyone.
PS. Who knew cheering Daley Thompson on in the 84 Olympics would have yielded value in 2020?😁
