Yes I think the AWARDS are correct but the answers aren't. According to that I passed on two. I didn't, I answered them all. @Mi-Amigo

My sincere apologies for messing up the results.

As commented, the Awards are correct but - and it is no excuse - I copied and pasted from the last quiz in doing the Results this time. And yes I am annoyed with myself for ruining the quiz.

I have corrected the Results and the Awards.

@Cleoriff and @MI5 did give eight correct answers and each is awarded Silver Thinker

@Anonymous did get Q1 correct and should have been awarded Bronze Thinker plus

Lesson learnt and will endeavour not to make the same stupid mistake next time.

Sorry everyone

Thanks @Cleoriff and @Anonymous

Your comments mean a lot

I love researching the questions and running two quizzes.

Keeps me busy and takes my mind of trivial unimportant stuff...

so I`ll sort out a good mix of easier and not-so-easy questions over the weekend for Mondays WRQ.
