@SpennyI thought this was the hardest WRQ. 🤔

[Comben]

I just snuck in my answers in time, latest I’ve ever done it. I really need to get better at replying on the first day. 😂

I will also add that I found this WRQ very hard and guessed on more than half of the answers! 😬

Can you check my number 4 again please @Mi-Amigo ? - I thought I was correct with that one, won't help much, all a bit of a disaster.

[Mi-Amigo]

Apologies @BobM 

Your answer to Q4 was correct. 

I`ve corrected Results and Awards - you now have a Red Thinker.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - can now hold my head up high.

I found that a tough quiz though, not as easy as it looks.

Well done everyone.  👍
