I like the look of that one @Mi-Amigo

Veritas Numquam Perit

Mi-Amigo · ‎10-05-2021

Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you like the look of this quiz.

I thought that the WORDS questions might appeal to the Dogs Of Word who usually take part in the Word Hunt Diamond game on Tuesdays; and tried to find a mix of subjects for the other categories.

Thank you @pgn

Some "food for thought" or is it head-scratching this time ??

@TheresaV

@Mi-Amigo questions look good this week! Another Big Bang Theory question

Mi-Amigo · ‎10-05-2021

@TheresaV

Sorry you feel you won`t be getting a Bronze Thinker this time but maybe a couple of guesses might be some way towards it ?

@TheresaV

Pleased you like the questions this time - and, yes, another Big Bang question [I`m a huge fan of the programme and tried to find a question which might need thinking about ]

@TheresaV

If getting a Bronze Thinker was a "mile stone", then what`s it gonna be like when you get a Silver Thinker ??
