Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff for your posts.

There are a couple of trickier questions this time. Thinking

Not all the questions are taken from my quiz books but none of those that are were rated "difficult".

I tried to find a good mix of categories, questions, and levels of difficulty.

Good luck with your answers.
