and as some questions in recent WRQ have been hard,  I`ve included a few "easier questions in today`s WRQ

which will be up on a separate thread shortly.

Thanks everyone for joining in and making WRQ fun.

[Cleoriff]

Wow, crikey, well done everyone. I was sure it was Apollo 12 astronauts , so I learned something new today. Lol

As for Q8 Rugby. Pah!! Just a guess from me. Great quiz @Mi-Amigo x

[pgn]

That was a stinker - off to have a look at the 2nd WRQ of the week... 😬🫣

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @pgn 

This WRQ wasn`t that easy. It is interesting to see that different questions caught different quizzers out.

Hopefully everyone will find some of the questions in today`s WRQ [which is now up on a separate thread] a little easier and more will take part. 

[lewys-gp]

Difficult but interesting questions, @Mi-Amigo. Thanks very much and well done, all.

Should have seen me drawing the big dipper in my head yesterday, my finger pointing at the sky 😂⭐.
