Hello and welcome @Indulgemybrain :slightly_smiling_face:

There’s a nifty trick to hide your answers so you don’t give the game away for anyone else. :+1:

You can tap the :gear: in your reply window to bring up Hide Details (or Blur Spoilers :slightly_smiling_face:). If you need a practice (or more details) you can ask questions and have a play in The Sandbox. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Answers (Slightly early as it’s bed time!)

  1. Australia
  2. Two of Nevada, Oregon and Arizona (definitely a half mark for any one though!)
  3. All 10 (and a whole lot more before you get down to Snowdon)
    Facts and figures
  4. Jamaica
  5. Edinburgh
  6. Oxfordshire
  7. Indian Ocean
  8. The Himalayas
  9. Japan
  10. The Moon

@VanillaWithSprinkles , missing out the Himalayas was unfortunate - I’m pretty sure you don’t think Mount Everest is in Japan and that the Moon is the land of the rising Sun so definitely marks for those :rofl:.

@Indulgemybrain , Welcome to the quizzing and I love that the Sea of Tranquility is in the Zoo! I think I’d be much more tranquil there than on the Moon and thoroughly recommend a trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park!

@Ian_Chimp , 65% with Arizona, nothing wrong with that!

And I get my scores in a percentage. :slightly_smiling_face:

I can’t believe 6 was Oxfordshire. I’m not even sure I know where that is. :slightly_smiling_face: And Arizona was a sneaky extra, but I’ll gladly take it. :+1:
