Well done everyone. Great quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Looks like the numbers quiz will be interesting *Coughs* 😂

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[pgn]

There should be a name for someone who collects immigration stamps, eh?

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo - thank you, and well done all - numismatics next, can hardly wait 😂

[gmarkj]

Not shocked by that - really struggled with those ones.

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Patricia1066]

Yes, thanks @Mi-Amigo  now (too late) I know what the monkey puzzle tree is by it's Latin name! Enjoyed stretching my memory though the guessing isn't going well. 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff @MI5 @pgn @Patricia1066 @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - as there were a couple of tough questions.

Monday`s WRQ "number" quiz should be fun... all I`ve got to do, over the weekend, is come up with the 8 questions 😂 

[Comben]

I found that quiz pretty damn hard and with 4 of us on 3 points each I think that's fairly true across the board. Hoping to do better next time in the alphabet WRQ's coming up... Although traditional as much as I love them I don't often score well in them. 🤣

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, pumped for the A-Z WRQ's. 👍
