Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.
I have to admit to having made a huge mistake in the results and the awards.
I said, in answer to Q2 - number of great grandchildren - that @pgn gave the answer 8 but in fact he actually gave the correct answer - 11. So, @pgn also got all 8 questions correct and therefore is awarded a Silver Thinker - not a Bronze Thinker + star.
Apologies for that. I will try and not make a stupid mistake with Mondays WRQ.
Congratulations @pgn

Woohoo, thank you @Mi-Amigo - tbh, my answer was buried in a sentence, not easy to scan, I have made a mental note to put answers front and centre of chitchat.
Thank you. 🫂
