Not a bad result, all-in, I think. Still think there is a cave somewhere with paintings like those in the video I posted, somehow 😁

Thanks for all the hard work on these, can't be easy when you see a range of answers not all like your reference book shows, @Mi-Amigo 🤔😂

If I paid more attention on Jurassic park, would I have picked up that word, eccaleobion, for a egg hatcher thingy ?

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - especially as there were a couple of questions rated "difficult" this time.
