Some interesting questions there @Mi-Amigo.

Please with my results, and well done to everyone!

[MI5]

Well done all and yes, it was a tough one.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo

@Mi-Amigo  Out of interest and regarding the second Space question, how long did Schmitt and Cernan spend on the moon? I only ask as I thought the Apollo 12 lot (Conrad and the other one lol) spent 30+ hours. Genuinely would like to know as it's a great quiz question (for when my other half does his quizzes)

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @lewys-gp @gmarkj @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz - even though there were some tough questions.

@Cleoriff 

With regards to the longest stay on the Moon, space.com website provides the following information

Most time on the moon

In December 1972, Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan of NASA's Apollo 17 mission spent just under 75 hours — more than three days — poking around on the surface of the moon. They also performed three moonwalks that lasted a total of more than 22 hours.

I hope this is useful when Ray is doing his next quiz questions.

[Cleoriff]

Thanks for that @Mi-Amigo x

[J9el]

Thank you @J9el 

Bear in mind no-one got a Silver Thinker this time and some of the questions were difficult.

Maybe you`ll like today`s questions.
