I was joking when I said I didn't know but all French Kings were called Louis... 😅 ..you don't have to give me that half point... 😂 ..I really didn't know...

[gmarkj]

Wow!

Shocked that both guesses (Mars and Only Fools) came in. Very pleased with that!

[Comben]

Not too bad for me, half marks. Well done to all those genii out there, clearly know their onions. 👏

Out of curiosity for the Mr Bean answer, what does the 'BL' mean in your sentence: "BL named the colour as Citron Green"?

Happy weekend all. 🎉
