Well done to those who showed no fear with Q2! Not one that I've seen before.

Great questions @Mi-Amigo and looking forward to Monday's set.

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - and nice to see all the answers, as well as those offered by others in the answers, where wrong. Also seems we have a few hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophiles among our number 😁

Most interesting 😂

[RafaC]

I knew for sure I'd nail the first one, as I grew up reading the books. The others, it was a shot in the dark for me and I missed them all 😂

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo. 

[Breanna]

No one with Kakorrhaphiophobia among our number. Confident answer all round on that one!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM @Cleoriff @gmarkj @MI5 @pgn @RafaC @Breanna for your comments.

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

[Comben]

Another tough WRQ for me, I was so close on Springwood but alas I’m still happy with 3 points considering how challenging I found it.

Well done everyone and thanks to Mi-Amigo for putting it together. See y’all for another WRQ on Monday. #SummerEvent

@RafaC yeah Q1 .. I had all the books too growing up! ... @Mi-Amigo that was a bit of an easy Q by your standards..! 😂🤣

[RafaC]

@adec I miss reading the Harry Potter saga, might reread them all at some point soon
