Thank you @MI5

Well done on getting a Silver Thinker.

Glad you enjoyed the quiz.

Thank you @Cleoriff

Well done on getting a Silver Thinker. As you didn`t consult Wiki, google or youtube, you didn`t break the rules, so of course your answer is allowed.

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

Thank you @pgn

Just missed out on a Silver Thinker.

Pleased you liked the quiz. As to Monday`s, you wrote

"another of my "think of an answer, fling it in" topics: History. No Queens, Kings, battles or medals, and I'll be happy. 😉 ". I can`t promise but that list does resist the type of question

Thank you @LukasB

Only just missed out on a Thinker this time.

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

Maybe you`ll be back with a Red Thinker [four correct answers] on Monday.

We're well used to the futility of resistance these days, @Mi-Amigo. Restrictions. Pffft! 🤣

Groats, portcullises and half-crowns, they all help 😉

My bad... should`ve read restrict not resist...

As for "groats, portcullises and half-crowns", don`t forget the previous tanners, bobs, and guineas...
