I was thinking if any animal was going to have cube-shaped droppings, it must be the weirdest one of all 😂. But, obviously not.

Well done, all. Cheers, @Mi-Amigo.

Thank you @pgn  @Cleoriff  @RafaC  @lewys-gp  @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

It is interesting that different questions caught different people out - something which I wasn`t expecting when I was setting the questions.

I hope everyone likes the categories and at least some of the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up ona separate thread.

I was thinking Spitz too @Cleoriff 

Then when saw answer Phelps yes and to me they looked similar 🙄 Phelps could not get into my mind. Dates may not suit Spitz.

Amazing no Silver and still amazing me with 5 right.  Still no good at the movies, I really thought I could get one of those but then couldn't. 

Well done everyone 

Thank you for marking my answers @Mi-Amigo 

[Cleoriff]

@Mi-Amigo @TallTrees  I certainly didn't expect to put Mark Spitz (a swimmer in the 70's) when I watched Michael Phelps win every damn Olympic medal Pfffttt. Lolol

[Mi-Amigo]

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award
