Yes, I`m sure.

It`s true @LukasB - not only has @Marjo got a Red Thinker this time but just beat you - although you did get a Red Thinker.

Well done @Marjo and well deserved.

Are you going for another Red Thinker - or maybe even Bronze Thinker - in today`s Halloween Quiz?

Thank you @pgn

Pleased you thought there was the right balance with the questions. Wasn`t quite planned like that but was pleased it turned out like that and so many got good scores this time.

I'm absolutely aiming for the Red Thinker again in the Halloween quiz @Mi-Amigo ! Although looking at the questions I might not actually reach it this time.

@Anonymous Thanks and congrats on your 3 stars too, not bad at all!
