Hello Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

One star is better than no stars 🤔

Mercury ~ well better known for messenger but all the Gods have numerous and varied talents, I think I read somewhere that "poetry" was one of Mercury's talents too.

Thanks for the quiz.  See you soon. TallTrees

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - good quiz.

Found it tricky but happy with the result.

Well done all who took part.

Not the Mandela Effect on my part @lewys-gp 

Afraid it was just a wild guess which proved wrong  😥

You might have been thinking about the holder you put the pieces in as that was blue @lewys-gp...

[lewys-gp]

Yes, that seems to be the case. Close but no cigar.
