Well done @Mi-Amigo - you deserve your own star for 'cracking' the new format and delivering the results.

Great quiz, thank you 👍

Mi-Amigo · ‎06-08-2021

Thank you @Cleoriff

Normally I can give the answers; results; and awards in about 15 minutes.

Not today. The new format does not like cut and paste of old style stars and the Thinkers.

I had to delete all the results for the first post and re-do it from scratch - with new emoji star - and although I could load the Thinker image using the camera icon, the new format doesn`t like it with text; so had to do what you see.

Don`t worry. I`ve got things in mind to include Thinkers in Monday`s WRQ and - after 150 WRQs and having celebrated its Second Anniversary - there is NO WAY that I`m going to let Khoros and their "new format" with all its problems and issues destroy or wreck White Room Quiz, which is something I, and the members of this Community, love.

Thank you everyone for your support.

WRQ WILL CONTINUE - no matter what !!!
