Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @pgn @jonsie @BobM @gmarkj @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

[Comben]

I'm pretty happy with 3 correct because I was expecting a much lower score but that was partly thanks to your generosity @Mi-Amigo, so cheers because I certainly needed it with those tough questions.

Nice to see a familiar name joining in again @BobM. And a massive well done to everyone for some very impressive scores in this WRQ, I think even the lowest score of 2 was great considering how hard I found the questions. Onwards and upward to the next WRQ, hopefully it's a bit more forgiving. 🤞
