Now that was a quiz to flex the brain muscles, well done all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo for a few odd words to use - I think pronging is another word for it, like the horns on the creatures' heads.

Funny thing about the Portugal one, as the country is so long and narrow, not many rivers rise in-country, most start elsewhere on the Iberian peninsula - the Tagus, the Douro, etc. One river that does rise in, and cross a fair chunk of, Portugal alone is the Mondego river - one for the quizzers in the group, if the Pub Quiz ever makes a comeback of course.

Thank you @Mi-Amigo 😊
Very well done all especially that question on pronking never come across that one.
I could visualise @LukasB as a sub. rescue pilot specially with the hat he depicts on his logo, needs to be back to front though 😉
@TheresaV well done 2 stars 🌟 anyway
Maybe could ask @Mi-Amigo to award single stars under last main award as we have runners up then 🤔
Nil points is different..I could be there often.
Then the wooden spoon 🙃

Thank you @pgn and @TallTrees

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

@pgn

Interesting info on rivers in Portugal, which I admit I didn`t know [but then geography never was my strong subject].

@TallTrees

As to pronging, I have a sneaky feeling that some might make use of that in posts in other threads in Off Topic
