Thank you @gmarkj

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and are happy with your score.

It`s often surprising how something we`ve seen or heard, or even guesses, can help with the answers.

Hope you like the subjects for Monday`s WRQ.

@TheresaV

Now that sounds like a good answer! a Methusaleh of Champagne to drink.

never mind the quiz!

Interestingly the name Methusaleh doesn't make sense to me for this ~

Methusaleh being oldest person etc..

Not the largest ? or large.

I had no idea either @TallTrees, I looked it up afterwards and now am not much wiser than before

Yes I like things to make sense (in the main) @TheresaV

However, many things don't make much sense especially

when "advertising people" get to add their nonsense into the equation...

this is the latest sillyness, in my opinion ~

Daisy advert ~ three girls dancing/prancing around a field with daisies and smelling daisies for the Daisy Perfume advert ~ well I don't think daisies have much if any smell at all ~ except for a bee

I saw that ad @TallTrees and had the same sentiment! But I feel perfume ads are always a bit out of this world, don't you think? I feel like they kind of need to catch up with the rest of the advertising world in terms of wits!
