Thanks @Mi-Amigo for organising and well done everyone! Except me with my 0 correct. I will aim for the Red Thinker next time!

The "squid ink" in your beer @Martin-O2 made me laugh

Mi-Amigo · ‎10-06-2020

Thank you, guys for your comments.

The questions in this quiz were tougher than last time - @gmarkj just missed out on Bronze Thinker

I hope everyone likes the categories and questions in today`s WRQ [now up on separate thread]

Good luck.

Well done all!

Squid ink's in pasta, not Guinness - tho some bars simply murder the drink, then it looks like squid ink and can taste worse... 😜

The Liz Taylor one nearly caught me out though!

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo !

Nice I'm happy with my 3 stars!

@Marjo, @pgn I was thinking it was coloured by the squid ink
