I enjoyed the quiz and my love of F1 gave me the answer to the Physics question (wahey!!)

I see @LukasB seems to have an obsession with Oasis

Seriously, well done everyone. Thanks again @Mi-Amigo

Great quiz and well done to all the Silver Thinkers!
Some unpleasant questions there @Mi-Amigo. Had to dig out some books for those...

@Cleoriff I think @Mi-Amigo should do an Oasis themed quiz

Thank you @Cleoriff and @gmarkj for your comments

I did laugh when I read @LukasB suggesting the Gallaghers not only played in 1966 World Cup but also wrote The Day of the Jackel

You were right @gmarkj , they were much tougher questions this time, so well done getting the Bronze Thinker.

Hope everyone finds the questions in today`s WRQ a little easier. The Quiz is up on a separate thread.

My sons were Oasis fans @LukasB so I might do quite well with that.

PS @Mi-Amigo is a fanatical fan of the Beatles. We used to have quizzes on them back in the day.

Thanks for the suggestion @LukasB

It so happens I do have an Oasis quiz question lurking which I might use soon...

Thanks @Cleoriff for the mention about the Beatles Quizzes...

brought back some memories...

I didn't get a moment to participate this time but having checked out the answers just now, I would have gotten 1 right (question 3).

I would not know anything in an Oasis-themed quiz apart from a couple of guys' names.

Mi-Amigo · ‎17-06-2020

Sorry you missed out on Monda`s quiz @Marjo

I hope you get a chance to take part in today`s [Wed] on separate thread
