Test

[Cleoriff]

Did the above test as suddenly I was getting an error message with everything I tried to do on Firefox. Chrome Ok. Rebooted PC and all seems ok now.

Quiz seems fine @Mi-Amigo (except Chemistry!!)😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Pleased you managed to get the issues with error messages sorted @Cleoriff 

As to the quiz, a couple of head scratchers - or at least not so easy - this time, with a real mix of topics for everyone to have a think about.

[Cleoriff]

PS, you don't have to NAME all the muscles @Mi-Amigo?? Damn good job! I'm a retired nurse and I would struggle to name them all 😂

[pgn]

My brain muscle has just attempted to ooze out through my ears - ye're a bad'un, @Mi-Amigo 😬😉

I`ve now got this image of the regular quizzers trying to find and count the muscles in their bodies 😂

Yeh, I`ll put my hands up, @pgn , I`m a bad `un this time... but like your gif... which makes me think that other gifs could get very interesting or censored this time with folks counting their muscles 😂 

[lewys-gp]

As stated in my PM, these questions have truly done me this week 😂. We go again next week.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo.

Sorry @Mi-Amigo ..you would have to take your body to bits to count all the muscles. You might want to put 'nearest answer to'....😂

Thank you @lewys-gp 

pm with your answers received.

@Cleoriff 

Of course, I`ll accept answers which are reasonably close/ nearest to the answer I have.
