Just switching on my "genius" button @Mi-Amigo

And there was me, thinking that champagne could once again be procured in bottles just large enough to fill a crown-embellished pint glass... 🤔 Good job I don't believe all I read, @Mi-Amigo 🧐😆

Love the Numbers edition of the WRQ @Mi-Amigo.
Think there are better chances at guessing 😅
PM on its way.

I was thinking this numbers edition might allow me to guess and be in the ball park but each answer requires some thought just for a sensible guess. 😂 

At first glance I think I only know about two… If someone knows Paul McCartney’s grandchildren total that’s some amazing general knowledge!

Thank you @TallTrees @pgn @RafaC @Comben for your comments.

Mix of easier [?] and not-so-easy questions this time.

As to a couple of the questions. The champagne question is for the standard bottle; and I came up with the 

Paul McCartney grandkids question, as I`m a massive Macca fan and thought of it after Paul`s 80th birthday and he played Glastonbury.

Good luck, everyone.
