Thank you @Patricia1066
pm with your answers received
As to how I come up with the questions, often I`ll come across an interesting fact in one of my books and then try and think of a question based on that.

Some right toughies to end the alphabet WRQ's but answers submitted @Mi-Amigo
I very much struggled with this, so my Bronze Thinker is on hold this time round... I'd take a Red thinker at this rate because I think I'll be lucky to score 2 points.
