@Cleoriff

With your Monopoly set in the loft, I don`t want you risking anything, so good luck if you have to make a guess. Good to hear that it paid off in WRQ Seasonal Quiz 1 and the Diamond Thinker has a place in your home.

@pgn

I did think you might know the Lough question. As for WRQ Seasonal Quiz 2, alcohol-induced answers have been known to have been successful in the past - so I wish you well with that. Look forward to pm wiith your eight answers to today`s quiz.

@LukasB

I like you confidence with today`s quiz. Good luck.

pm with your eight answers received

Hello @Mi-Amigo

Good variety of questions today

I think I know the Monopoly one without doing myself mischief lol

I have a question ... I may well be embarrassing myself though ... Q2 the 1st question on Art ... Should it be Elizabeth FriNk and not FriSk as in the question ... I do know something of Art, but not necessarily the answer to the question

No offence what-so-ever intended ... I do know you like to be 'spot on' with your quizzes.

Cleoriff · ‎21-12-2020

@Anonymous

Like you, I am hoping it's FRINK. My answer is based on her. I'm not sure there was a FRISK. (If there was, I've never heard of her.)

Thank you @Cleoriff

Very appropriate gifs - can`t really "like" `em

pm with your eight answers received. As to Q2, the question should have read Frink not Frisk, as @Anonymous pointed out.

Thank you @Anonymous

Apologies. You are quite right. The question should have read Frink not Frisk. I hope this does not spoil the quiz for anyone.

Look forward to pm with your eight answers.
