Agree with the above.
You do a grand ol' job setting up these quizes (researching, cajoling for answers, marking them and then posting the results) so it's no problem.
Oh, and well do to all!

Thanks @gmarkj for your kind comments.

Shame you just missed out on Bronze Thinker this time.

I hope you, and everyone else, likes the choice of categories for Monday`s WRQ.

Didn't get a moment to come check the results earlier so just have read through them now. I'm happy with my palindrome answer being correct! And I didn't even consider the ants for the formicary question. Thanks for organising @Mi-Amigo and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Red Thinker again @LukasB ! Ok I will again read some more random bits of information to grow my knowledge, in case it comes in handy next week, towards my Silver Thinker.

Hope you all have a great weekend guys.
