My answers have been sent to you @Mi-Amigo
I can't work out if I found the WRQ hard or medium this week, I've still had to guess most of the answers but there were some that really played into my strengths. For example I've been to both places (recently) that feature in the geography questions and I really enjoyed watching Jessica Ennis compete at London 2012.

I guess we'll find out how I did tomorrow, l look forward to the answers.
