Thank you for the quiz and marking ...
@Mi-Amigo
Ah now I know something else
Re question 1.
Biwa largest lake in Japan
I like pearls, didn't add up Biwa fresh water Pearl, from a mussel in Biwa Lake the largest in Japan, makes sense. Learned something there...Great.
Q2 just didn't know that, thought brain then lung...know now.
Q3 so many dead volcanoes 🌋 wouldn't expect to know that one and no point either so won't bother.
Thrilled with Biwa Pearl knowledge...😊
Well done all those with Silver Bronze Red and stars. Amazing

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

 

I loved @TheresaV `s answer - Roetgen got the Nobel Prize for Physics for discovering @LukasB .

If @TheresaV isn`t on the Community, I think we can all guess why joy
