Thank you @LukasB @Martin-O2 @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj for your kind comments.
I`m really pleased you all enjoyed this quiz...
Monday`s WRQ will be a mix of easier and not so easy questions.
I can`t` promise, as I have yet to research and check over the weekend, but there might be a QI-style question...
