Welcome to

In case it looks odd that (@Cleoriff) is posting this and for those of you who are unaware, @Mi-Amigo has a hospital appointment this morning. To make sure there was no delay in Weds quiz questions being posted, this PM was sent to @Cleoriff before I left for the hospital this morning.

[MI5]

Good scores everyone.
Well done and thanks

[TallTrees]

Thank you for the result @Mi-Amigo
Bronze is good 💥
Just couldn't get the Silver 😫😢😭
It would probably be a miracle to get 8 questions right for me they are so diverse.
Enjoyable though.
Bye and very well done everybody.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 and @TallTrees 

The scores were good this time.

Well done @MI5 on getting a Silver Thinker and well done @TallTrees on getting a Bronze Thinker +  - only just missing out on a Silver Thinker [pass on one question but didn`t get any wrong].

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and hope you like the categories for Monday`s WRQ

[BobM]

Good quiz @Mi-Amigo thank you.  

Well done everyone, lot of good scores this time.

Almost a silver for @TallTrees ....so close. 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

As you said, you and TallTrees only just missed out on getting a Silver Thinker this time.

Maybe you will both succeed with Monday`s WRQ ?? I`ll be searching out the 8 questions for that over the weekend.

[Cleoriff]

Loved some of those answers @Mi-Amigo 

@TheresaVwith Boaty McBoatface Boating for the John Masefield

@gmarkj  for LukasB Island and Theresa's Sea Shanties

Great quiz with some high scores.

I really wanted @TallTrees  to get her Silver (as I posted it this week, she was so excited at the questions.)

Well done everyone. What a great quiz @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker

I love the gifs from quizzers with notification that pm with answers has been sent and some of the answers this time were amusing - which all adds to what this WRQ is all about - having fun. 

[gmarkj]

I thought those answers would at least bring a chuckle to a few members. No worse than putting "pass" if I don't know!

[jonsie]

Well done us

Thanks for a wide ranging set of topics @Mi-Amigo

Brought a smile and chuckle to me @gmarkj  - and well done on your Bronze Thinker

Thank you @jonsie 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz with, as you said, a wide range of topics, which I hope adds to making the WRQ interesting, and maybe testing at times. And well done on getting a Silver Thinker.
