Thank you @pgn @MI5 @Cleoriff @Dave-O2

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

Great to see everyone getting a Thinker

.... but I wonder how everyone will do with today`s WRQ - with the least favourite "words" and a couple of tricky questions which are rated "difficult" ?? Comment welcome on today`s [Wed] WRQ thread.... 😀
