Well done on getting the Red Thinker [again ] in this WRQ - although you probably noticed that @Martin-O2 beat you this time...

Love your 'Welly Wanging' story @Cleoriff

Well pleased with my 2 stars

Found this quiz thought provoking

Kicking myself for not thinking, obviously now, of Napoleon with the horse question

Always enjoy your WRQ's @Mi-Amigo ... ... ... thank you for compiling this WRQ

Looking forward to the Halloween WRQ

Mi-Amigo · ‎23-10-2020

Thank you @Martin-O2

Well done - even if two answers were guesses.

Thank you @Anonymous

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz. Sorry you missed out with the "horse" question, which I think shows that sometimes [not always] what seems to be an obvious answer, or even a hunch, might be correct.

I hope everyone will enjoy Monday`s WRQ as a prelude to the White Room "Halloween" Quiz on Wed.
