Well done all.

Thank you @pgn @MI5 @Cleoriff @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - as there were a couple of tricky questions

and, as said, sad demise of Seller`s sea cow.

Great WRQ, so many brilliant scores but only 1 person got a perfect round. Well done @Mi-Amigo very good balance and thanks for your dedication as always for asking and answering all the questions.

I'm pretty happy with my 3, shame it wasn't quite a thinker but still not bad compared to some of my other rounds. I hope someone out there enjoyed my funny.... Q8 - Antony Tique better known to his friends as Ant Tique (Antique) 🤣 I do make myself laugh sometimes, if I don't know the answer what not chuck out a joke!
