How wrong can you be, @gmarkj? Here, have a block of Palladium 👌

More valuable than gold (and doctored to remove the annotation top-right 😁).

Is it controversial to say I quite liked that WRQ. In the sense I knew at least 3 answers… Which is better than normal for me. (Although maybe I should wait for the results before getting to confident.) 😆

I’m not even been ‘quietly’ confident but it could be a case of hubris though 😬

I was more just trying to say I was happy knowing a few answers off the bat as it doesn’t happen often for me. 👍🏻
