I read some of the answers entered & have to reread the questions. Not looking at @pgn here at all.

BobM · ‎30-07-2021

Good quiz @Mi-Amigo thank you.

Well done everyone but I think an extra is deserved for some of @TallTrees 's answers

Plus @pgn 's answer to Q1 makes perfect sense.

TheresaV · ‎30-07-2021

Hehehehehehhehehe I can't wait for @LukasB to come back and see all the successes I have had whilst he was on holiday. Or maybe I am more successful because he is on holiday? Either way, thanks for the Red Thinker @Mi-Amigo , I really liked this WRQ and can't wait for the next ooooone!

Also, @gmarkj, again, I am sorry but LukasB wasn't the painter, he was the banana in the painting

Well done everyone. Some brilliant answers there

I agree with @BobM ....@TallTrees deserves an additional star for her funny answers.

The results are so funny. @pgn Next time you kick up those glorious Autumn leaves which have fallen from the trees...just remember how Kexy they are.

Thanks once again @Mi-Amigo for a great quiz.
