Thinkers all over this morning, wonderful to see. And nice to see Chemistry making an appearance 🧪⚗️⚛️👍

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo!

Well done everyone! Pleased to see my 'Chemistry for Dummies' booklet I bought years ago paying dividends (even though Q6 was a guess!) 😂 Some I remember, others, not so much.

All good fun though. Thanks again @Mi-Amigo x

[Comben]

Yayyy a thinker, it's always nice to come back to an old WRQ and find yourself with another thinker to put on the 'shelf in my mind'.

A lot of very impressive scores on this one and with 4 people scooping full marks, well I guess that makes up for the previous WRQ which most of us found a bit harder. 👏
