Well done everyone.

Personally I need to make sure I READ the questions properly!

Originally had 180 for darts question...(thought it was very easy )

And Citizen Kane, instead of The Social Experiment..as I skim read the blumming date. Fool.

Lucky guess at the morse code question for me but it was based on knowing how sneaky @Mi-Amigo is

Thanks and well done all.

We had the darts one in a quiz back in the day, simple maths. Also Switzerland nearly got fingered for the flag, until I remembered Vatican State, which prompted a search of the wallchart in the other room...

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo, and well done all.

It IS simple maths if you read it properly @pgn . My problem was, I didn't, until I double checked.

I just thought 180, everyone will get that right.

Thank you @Cleoriff and @MI5 and @pgn for your comments.

Well done on getting the Silver Thinker.

As for Mi-Amigo being "sneaky" wait `til you see the questions in today`s WRQ - one of which I think is not as easy as it first appears

btw the four quesions in Monday`s quiz which are classed in quiz books as "easier" were Q3; Q5; Q6; Q7 - which shows, as has been said previously, the questions are only "easy" if you know the answer.
