Thank you @Cleoriff @MI5 @TheresaV @LukasB

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

I do try and vary the level of difficulty with the questions. Sometimes a guess can pay off, and as said, sometimes the answer is what might seem to be too obvious.

I hope you all like some, if not all, of the questions in the 100th WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

@TheresaV and @Cleoriff

If @LukasB thinks he is a genius for getting a Red Thinker, imagine what it`ll be like if he gets the Silver Thinker
