Cheers, @Mi-Amigo.

Read Q6 as Carole Baskin first time and wondered what the Tiger King had to do with space 😂. Will send answers once had more coffee... ☕

[Cleoriff]

I think we should drop Space category @Mi-Amigo

I don't like it anymore as the questions are getting harder 😂😂

[TallTrees]

Good Grief 😫😫

Thank you @lewys-gp @pgn @Cleoriff @TallTrees 

I admit there are a couple of head-scratchers this time.

As to Space questions, I can`t really ban them from the quiz but surprisingly don`t come up as often as some of the other categories.
