Hmmm, much better than I thought, particularly Science… knew 2 of them! Going to assume very lucky stab in the dark on the Zodiac (maybe my stars were aligned :yum:) and generous marking on the Dragonfly.

Thanks @Ian_Chimp - I do enjoy the Hump Day Quiz! :grin:

Ah, I assumed it must be a specific thing - pleasing. I do like dragonflies. Lovely to watch and I got some great pictures of one in the New Forest a few years back.

The card wants a certain thing, but if it turns out they eat loads of things then some people are going to get a points bump. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s quite generic, but I’ve put a spoiler on it just in case. :slightly_smiling_face:

Well done @WillC :trophy: - an exemplary performance!

I am very happy to have misread the black hills question as highest rather than most visited and hence surprised myself by getting it correct however I dispute Argentina as the location of the Pampas… we studied this at school. It’s some of Argentina, all of Uruguay and a bit of Brazil so I argue full marks should be given for South America.

Best one yet. :slightly_smiling_face::+1: I thought this week’s was really hard, and I had all the answers. :slightly_smiling_face:

What sort of questions/categories are you hoping for? If you throw a few ideas out it might spark someone’s imagination enough to whip one up. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Some weeks are harder than others, i wonder if us older members have more of an advantage on the pop culture questions if it’s an old triv set? Either way sport is still my Achilles heel!

958

And there I was about to suggest my Sport only set of questions. :rofl:

Earlier in the year I sent a set of adult trivia questions and a set of movie trivia questions to the local charity shop they might have been pretty good.
