I did better than I though I would actually. Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

Was not expecting to get Q8 correct - normally say hat or cape, and was lucky today!

No clue on the colours or the currency, so more guesses there and was so close for the flag.

Thanks for some great questions @Mi-Amigo .

[TallTrees]

Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

surprised to get a Red Thinker

thought I knew one or two of the incorrect ones 🙄

Well done everyone ~

Try and join in when can....best wishes to you 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @BobM  @Cleoriff @MI5 @RafaC @gmarkj @TallTrees .

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

It`s very unusual not to have a Silver Thinker - especially in an "Odd Questions" edition, but that said, there were a couple of difficult questions this time and I thought the Motorway, flag, and currency questions were particularly hard.

I`ll see what I can do about including some easier [?] questions in Monday`s WRQ.

Well done all and thanks again @Mi-Amigo - Top quizmaster!
