Really enjoyable quiz @Mi-Amigo Well done one and all.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[gmarkj]

Well done everyone. The day got away from me so apologies for missing out.

Not that I think I would have done very well - I might have got 4 with guesses, but doubt it would have been much more...

[pgn]

This was preoccupying you I suspect, @gmarkj 😉

[Comben]

I am surprised I did that well, thanks @Mi-Amigo. 😃

I agree with @pgn it's great to see everyone with Thinkers this time, enjoyable quiz and very good results, well done all. 🎉
