A good brainstretcher of a quiz @Mi-Amigo 😁

Well done everyone!

[BobM]

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @TallTrees @MI5 @Cleoriff @BobM @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

As said, there were a couple of "nutcrackers"/"brainstretchers" in this quiz.

I already have a couple of "brain scratchers" lined up for Monday`s WRQ - but don`t let that put anyone off as I`m sure some educated guesses will pay off, and anyway the quiz should be fun.

Monday quiz 😴 

I need a rest @Mi-Amigo
