Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff for your comments on this quiz.

I`m pleased you enjoyed it.

I think - without taking anything from any of the quizzers - it goes to shows that, sometimes, a guess can bring results.

As for Monday`s WRQ - yep Physics is back - but the "good" news is there will only be one physics question which I have yet to find and will look for over the weekend....

Good mindbender, @Mi-Amigo - less of the answers "jumped out", unlike Monday's one.
Better start revising Hooke's Law and CAV/CLV (circular motion) formulae 😝
