Ah well, back to school for me.  Slight miscalculation with the temperature question, should have known that.

Well done everyone and thanks goes to @Mi-Amigo for a good quiz.

[RafaC]

Didn't get a thinker, but got 3 stars and three is the magic number.

(came to know about this because of De La Soul of course)

So I'm happy with today's result. You can always find a positive outlook I suppose 😂

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo!

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo

Great Quiz @Mi-Amigo. I always thought it was a great misnomer calling it the Spanish flu, when it started in America!! 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @BobM @MI5 @RafaC @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quz and well done on your awards - as the painting question and the metal question were the two rated as mderately difficult.
