Ooh Red Thinkers for both of you this time @Martin-O2 , @LukasB

Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and congratulations on the Silver Thinker.

I don`t know what you`ll make of today`s categories and one particular question ?

Sorry you missed out on a couple of quizzes @Marjo but it`ll be great if you have time to join in with today`s - and yes there are two words questions this time

Thanks @LukasB

Well done on your Red Thinker [again ].

Hope you like today`s subjects. Although there are two History questions, you will no doubt be pleased the answer is not Henry
