Thinkers all-round again, marvellous!

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - sterling job, as ever!

Well done everyone. Pleased with that!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff @pgn @gmarkj 

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

Great that everyone got a Thinker again.  

[J9el]

Well done and thanks again @Mi-Amigo for a fantastic quiz 😊

[Comben]

Wow, all of us thinkers, that's impressive so well done everyone and thanks to @Mi-Amigo for making the WRQ.

I was pretty happy with my score this time out but once again I've failed to secure my first ever Bronze Thinker, I think I'm like Leonardo DiCaprio with that elusive first Oscar but he managed to get there eventually and hopefully I will before the year is out.

Cheers again and well done to everyone. 👏
