[TallTrees]

That's brilliant @Mi-Amigo 

I thought this quiz would be worse for me.

Well done everyone 👏 👍 😀 

[RafaC]

Same here @TallTrees 😁
pleases with the results. Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everybody!

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone. My recently learned chemical elements let me down this week. (or my brain did) 😂

Couldn't think of the answer to Q2. Never mind, great quiz as usual @Mi-Amigo 😊

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[BobM]

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees @RafaC @Cleoriff @MI5 @BobM 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

[Comben]

Not that it changes much Mi-Amigo but you put me down for 3 correct answers yet scored me at 2. 😥

I know it's not thinker worthy but it would mean the lowest score of the round was lifted to 3 as well.

In other news I really need to get back to the good ol'days when I was getting thinker awards, I'm very much having withdrawals without them! 😅

Well done to everyone else, guess a lot of us learnt something on this WRQ. 👏
