I already have a couple of questions ready and will search out the rest over the weekend.

[pgn]

Good quiz again @Mi-Amigo - the planet one nearly got me... Good fun!

[J9el]

Sorry I missed out this time @Mi-Amigo. 

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[gmarkj]

Pleased with my bronze thinker - wasn't expecting that!

Well done everyone, and interested to see Monday's questions...

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo.

The one I found most difficult was Kennebecker. 😖

Now next week? What's all this measurement malarkey? 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @J9el @MI5 @gmarkj @Cleoriff for your comments.

There were a couple of tricky questions - Q3 WORDS 1 - The word dactylioglyph refers to someone who does what ? was rated as "very difficult" but the results show that some found others more diffcult.

Well done everyone on your awards.

Sorry you missed out on WRQ this time @J9el .

As to Monday`s WRQ - yes, there are two questions on measurements - and I have already got these ready...

Maybe some might like to do a bit of swotting over the weekend ? 😂

Of course @Mi-Amigo 

Fluid Measurements?

Dry measurements?

Metric conversion measurements?

SI Base Units?

Length of my leg measurements? 😂

I think I'll wait and see 😖

[Comben]

I found this WRQ absolutely puzzling but am stoked to receive a Red Thinker... Not sure its a valid reward though because I guess at most of them but 3 paid off. 😂

Well done to Mi-Amigo for organising this once again and congratulations to all those taking part, some very hard ones this time in my opinion. 👏
