Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you like the look of this quiz.

 

I thought that the WORDS questions might appeal to the Dogs Of Word who usually take part in the Word Hunt Diamond game on Tuesdays; and tried to find a mix of subjects for the other categories.

@TheresaV 

Sorry you feel you won`t be getting a Bronze Thinker this time but maybe a couple of guesses might be some way towards it Thinking ?

 

@TheresaV 

Pleased you like the questions this time - and, yes, another Big Bang question [I`m a huge fan of the programme and tried to find a question which might need thinking about yahoo]
