Well done all, thinkers all-round! Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - that one was a toughie!

[Cleoriff]

Q3 Of course it was Luciana. I'm afraid brain freeze set in with that question @Mi-Amigo 😂

Still, a thinker for all so well done x

Not a clue with the others, so please with a red this time.

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo
