Thank you @pgn @BobM @Cleoriff @TallTrees @gmarkj @jonsie 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - and must mention @TallTrees and @BobM who just missed out on a Silver Thinker.

As mentioned, there is the Mastermind Challenge to look forward to on Wed [which "might" have a couple of headscratchers]; and not forgetting the WRQ 5th Anniversary quiz on Monday.
