Congrats everyone. Must admit being married to a guy whose family were a bunch of card sharps helped me a lot Even nowadays, you don't go and see them in Leighton Buzzard without the card table being brought out at some time over the weekend.

Mi-Amigo · ‎25-11-2020

Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff

Congratulations both on getting the Silver Thinker.

Pleased you liked the questions and enjoyed the quiz.

I though the playing card question was tricky, so whether or not anyone played cards, well done getting it correct.

Hope you both, and everyone else, likes the questions in today`s quiz which is now up on a separate thread.
