I will search out the questions over the weekend and try and find a mix of easier and not-so-easy questions.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - and well done all, WRQ is a great way to get the little grey cells ticking over 👌

Enjoy the weekend, all!

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - another great quiz and happy with the result.

Well done everyone, good scores again 👍

[J9el]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, really good questions. Always learning from your quizzes. Well done all! 

[Cleoriff]

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

Interestingly enough, the question that stumped me was Q7 Algology, as it has 2 answers. In Medicine it's the study of pain, Also the study of Algae. So I put both in my answer 😂

Look forward to Mondays Quiz,
