Great quiz @Mi-Amigo and thanks for Q8. I knew the answer simply because of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Thanks @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

I don`t normally choose questions off WWTBAM, so this was an exception, pleased it helped with your answer to the WRQ question

Thanks @MI5

Glad you liked the quiz.

I hope you both like the categories for Monday`s WRQ

@gmarkj

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the quiz.

Well done, you only just missed out on the Silver Thinker this time.

@Martin-O2

Thank you. Pleased you liked the quiz.

As to how I do it ? The fun for me is finding the questions. In the past, I have stumbled across something when reading a book which I think might be good for a question, and then checked various sources on the facts for an answer, but this doesn`t happen that often.

Hope you both like the categories for Monday`s quiz.

Late today - hectic couple of days, not to mention being p*ssed about by Currys (no worries ppffffttttttt!) to get a necessary bit of tech in a hurry...

Great quiz, well done to all the ones who took part. Vermeer nearly sunk me, saved by a pearl earring 😁
