Thank you @jonsie

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker as there were a couple of headscratchers.

Thank you @Martin-O2

Well done on getting a Red Thinker.

Whether or not @LukasB "comes back stronger next time" and whether or not you or @TheresaV beat him remains to be seen.

Hope you like the questions in today`s WRQ.
