I'd agree with that.

There was one question that I hope I got right but I struggled with it.......

Thank you @Cleoriff

like the gif - appropriate for one of the questions

pm with your 8 answers received

@Cleoriff and @MI5

as you said, this might be one of the hardest WRQ.

I admit that I did change a couple of questions to the ones in this quiz as I thought the ones I originally planned using were too easy... Seems I may have gone a little too far the other way with these more difficult questions. I hope these don`t put anyone off taking part and that the regular quizzers will have a go -even if the answers are quesses - you might be right

Not at all.
A challenge is a good thing
