Here's what was going through my head when I was answering those 8 questions -

1. hopefully like an exam quiz is starting easy

2. could only think of one astronaut - probably not him but have to have a guess

3. I'm sure I'll say "oh yeah" when I see the answer

4. hmmm....that answer seems right -- halfway through and don't feel like it is going well

5. lucky you put European in the question, my mind had already gone to Asian countries

6. must have this one correct

7. That is a real good guess - apart from it is the only one I can remember

8. I used to play that game so much as a kid, it must have burned itself into my mind....surely........

you'll either realise you really wanted to know my thoughts after you've read that or you'll realise that you'll never get back that those precious few minutes 🤣
