Thanks @Mi-Amigo a good quiz. Once the dance question name was corrected, I felt ok about the rest 😂

[Dave-O2]

Thanks again for the quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done to everyone!

@TallTrees @pgn thanks for the support it was only a matter of time before the wooden spoon appeared at my doorstep 🤣

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - a tough one though.

Happy with the result and well done all.  👍

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you 

@TallTrees @gmarkj @MI5 @pgn @Cleoriff @BobM 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

@Dave-O2 sorry no stars this time, but don`t be too down as there were 3 questions rated "difficult".

Monday`s WRQ A-Z Quiz 6 pt 2 should be a little easier; but as a quizzer once said in the early days...

"the questions are only easy if you know the answers" 😄

A bit of a brain ache posting around midnight

I didn't see the dance correction and all I could think of was the cars so took a wild stab

Well done to those getting that lot all correct and thanks for letting me go to bed with brain fog @Mi-Amigo 😂
