Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff and @Martin-O2 for your comments.

As this quiz was tougher than normal, I thought it was only right to allow the other answer to the flag question and to award a half star for the stamp question...

I will try and find slightly easier questions over the weekend for Monday`s WRQ...

as a little hint I`ve already got a nice question in mind [needs checking] for one of the SPACE questions

Thanks @LukasB 

No guarantee this quiz won`t be mentioned again... as other tough ones occasionally still get mentioned

 

Thanks @Anonymous 

Glad you are pleased with your one and a half stars this time...

It sounds like you like the subjects for Monday`s WRQ. 

I hope all the regulars do too
