Corker of a quiz, Herr Olbers did for me, unsurprisingly. Olbers' Paradox: Why, if there are infinite stars in the universe, is the sky dark at night?

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - head scratchy, definitely!

Ron Moody voiced Prolix, the Soothsayer, in some of the Asterix films/televisations - this is my mental image of @Mi-Amigo as he posts his WRQ on a Mon or Weds morning 🤣

As for Lukas being the correct answer in a future WRQ,

all I can say is "What would the question be ?" joy

 


Of course the question would be "Who is the prettiest of them all?" @Mi-Amigo  joy

Like @TheresaV , you only just missed out on getting a Red Thinker.

 

Thank you @O2EmmaLouise 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your Bronze Thinker and being only one of three who knew the right answer to Q5 Space question.

Monday`s WRQ should be fun. I`ll try and find a mix of easier and not-so-easy questions for the different categories.
