[RafaC]

As predicted, not a great score. But out of the 4 I managed to have a guess at, at least I got 2 right.
Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo! 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC 

Well done on getting two stars

[Comben]

Thank you Mi-Amigo, tough WRQ for sure.

Complete understandable not to give "Long Distance Running" in answer to the decathlon question, because I actually thought it was some kind of half marathon. Also worth noting that I'm all in favour of an extra point but my guess for question six was just adding "tium" to "Ac" because it sounded like an element, 😅 but is that actually close enough to the real answer of "Actinium" to score a point?

Well done to everyone else, a hard WRQ but still some great scores... Onwards to Wednesday's WRQ now.
