That was a hard one! Thanks for my 2 halves @Mi-Amigo ! Well done everyone. Nature and TV look interesting for the next quiz.

Mi-Amigo · ‎02-10-2020

Thank you @MI5 and @Marjo

Three of the questions [Q2, Q4 Q6] were classed in the various sources I used for his quiz as "difficult" or "hardest" questions.

I hope everyone likes the choice of categories for Monday`s WRQ... and, advanced notice, I`ll also check out eight questions for Wed WRQ when there will be two questions on each of these categories -

PEOPLE SPACE LITERATURE GAMES

so, hopefully, something to look forward to.

Thanks for another great (albeit difficult) quiz @Mi-Amigo and allowing surnames only.

I'm off to find a cow to vaccimulge

Mi-Amigo · ‎02-10-2020

Thank you @Cleoriff and congratulations on being the only Silver Thinker this time.

Given that three of the questions were so much harder this time, it was only fair to allow just surnames.

I`m sure you`ll be allowed to vaccimulge under current regulations if you wear a mask

Well done @LukasB - Red Thinker again

I wonder how everyone will get on with Monday`s WRQ

I`ll try and find a balance of easier and not-so-easy [but not "hardest"] questions

I posit that the Peasants Revolution was not led by one, but by a group, y'know, but Wat probably led the charge...

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo, food for though in that one.
