Thank you @MI5 and @gmarkj for your comments.

I tried to give a varied mix of categories for today`s quiz. Admittedly, some of the categories are not the most favoured.

Some questions are rated as "easier", some are rated "more difficult", and some I came up with. So there might be a few "head-scratchers" this time; and I`m sorry if you find some questions are not as pleasant this time. Good luck with coming up with answers.
