This looks great @Mi-Amigo. It doesn't mean I will get a high score, but it looks great 😁

At least I know for sure the answer to the CURRENCY question, as I happen to still have a few bills of that currency at home 🇧🇷

Thanks Mi-Amigo, I will be entering for sure but unfortunately not expecting a high return.

The questions are great and I feel like I should know more so give me some thinking time and I’ll pm my answers to you when I wake up. I’m especially annoyed I can’t quickly remember the currency or flag off the top of my head.

Cheers for putting this together and I must say I love this theme so far. 👍🏻
