Thanks for that @Mi-Amigo. Some good questions....and some will need a brain wobble. 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you think there are some good questions in this quiz and yes there are a couple which might need thinking about. 

[lewys-gp]

Good set of questions. Some educated guesses will be needed again. 

[RafaC]

I'm the same as @lewys-gp and his educated guesses thing, PM on its way 😉

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @lewys-gp and @RafaC for your comments 😀

@RafaC 

pm with your answers received

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 

pm with your answers received

[Spenny]

I half agree with @RafaC and @lewys-gp 

The half about it being guesses. Will try hard on the educated part 😂

@Cleoriff my brain will certainly wobble. Think it may still and wobble-less for the Geography questions. Geography is not my thing. Google maps is a god send for me.

Thank you for your comments @Spenny 

To be honest, and as most of the regular quizzers know, geography is not my thing either 😂 . I was hopeless at school and not much has changed but, as many do like and are knowledgable about geography, it`s only fair to include it in the categories from which the questions are chosen. Good luck and, as has been said before, sometimes guesses can pay off.
