Bah!
Stupid maths - really need to pay attention when doing these questions.
Not surprised at the dance question - was just a guess.
Well done to all!

Thanks @TheresaV . Good luck with today`s quiz - especially the categories you chose.

Sorry you just missed out @gmarkj but well done on getting the Bronze Thinker. At least there isn`t a maths question in today`s quiz.

Thank you @jonsie

Pleased you liked the quiz and well done on getting the Silver Thinker.

As to it being easier, I do try and mix the level of questions, and there was a QI-style question this time.

But, as has been said a few time before, the questions are only easy if you know the answers.
