[RafaC]

Always nice to get an award 🙌
Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

[TallTrees]

Oh couldn't get  my answers in but

sent you them this morning.  

You can see them anyway @Mi-Amigo 

Out of time 😎

[pgn]

Great quiz - stumped me and as we had a Special quiz, over 20 tables of 4 last night, came up with some of the answers, wrong and right, before the evening kicked off. We came 2nd, a couple of points behind the joint winners who had a tie break question: "What is the longest documented period, measured in days, between the birth of the first and the second child in a set of twins?"

You may be surprised at the answer ... 😖

Well done all here, good showing, and thanks, @Mi-Amigo!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC - well done on your award

Thank you @TallTrees . I received the late pm with your answers. Had you submitted it in time you would have got a Red Thinker

Thank you @pgn 

That is one hell of a quiz question you had !!! And I thought some of mine in the past have been tough.

OK here is my guess - 8 [eight] days between birth of first and second twin. 

[pgn]

And then some @Mi-Amigo: 87 days! 😱 The team that got the closer answer in the tiebreak guessed 14 days 😂

[TallTrees]

Hi there @Mi-Amigo 

Glad you had a look through my "out of time" answers,  appreciate it.

Lost track of time busy 😪 

[Comben]

I too lost track of time this week and am absolutely gutted I missed out because with a scan of the questions I think I would have been close to 6 correct... My highest ever score! ☹️

Hoping to get back on it next week and apologies I missed this one Mi-Amigo but great WRQ nevertheless.

And png, I can't believe the answer int that tiebreaker was 87 days, I would guess about 6 days at most... Not sure how it ended being over 12 weeks!
