Thanks for running the quiz @Cleoriff! It was really fun to take part and was super challenging. 

A shout out to @Mi-Amigo too for all the quiz work he's been doing. 

[Marjo]

I'm so pleased with my star @Cleoriff , I guessed all of them as it was super difficult! 

Cheers for organising this!

[Cleoriff]

@Martin-O2  and @Marjo 

Thanks so much for taking part and being such good sports. I know @Marjo  was in meetings all day leaving @Martin-O2  to do all the forum work.

Thanks again.

I had two people 'advising' me that the answers would be easy to work out if I did it on Excel. One was @pgn  the other was my husband Ray. I pointed out ..

1) I had never used Excel actually and....

2) The format had always been to show the answers given by everyone(in condensed format) with stars awarded so how the hell would that work on Excel (I only said that to my other half not @pgn )

Excel-lent move, best avoided if you've managed thus far without it, @Cleoriff 

Thanks for the sterling work and 10 stars.

This did not look like fun! (On either side)

Well done all and thanks to @Cleoriff  for the time involved in setting the quiz. I'm happy with 6 correct as I realise I've forgotten more than I know. I should have got the Dicken and Shakespeare questions correct as I read all their works at school some 55 years ago!

Well done and thank you @Cleoriff for all your hard work 

I should have got the 2012 Olympics 

I did get Newkie Brahn correct, even though I've never drunk any 

Like @Marjo , I'm very happy with my one star 

Just goes to show all the time and trouble it takes for @Mi-Amigo to compile the quizes regularly

Actually, I enjoyed  setting it up @Anonymous. It was sorting through the answers and posting them which became a time consuming challenge. I started to think THE REVENGE was on me!
