Well done everyone.

The flag and Australian bank note question were total guesses for me.

[gmarkj]

Pleased with my red thinker this time - some big guesses on this!
Well done to all, and thanks for working the old grey matter @Mi-Amigo.

[pgn]

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo, great quiz - and no amount of 'roo contemplation would have unearthed the colour of that banknote... even if I did nearly use the name "Blue" instead of "Bruce" on my gif annotation earlier 

Well done everyone on the results, I honestly don't know where he gets'em from!

Looking forward to the Science questions next Monday 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees  @Cleoriff  @gmarkj @pgn for your kind comments.

I`m really pleased you all enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

The "odd questions" editions of WRQ are always fun for me - searching out the "odd" questions.

The Australian banknote question didn`t come from a quiz book. It came about by chance whilst I was looking for currencies for different countries and came across the colours for Australian banknotes.

Monday`s WRQ will be a mix of what will hopefully be slightly easier and not quite-so-easy questions, which I`ll be searching out over the weekend.  

[MI5]

Thanks and well done to all

[jonsie]

Well done everyone
