That was indeed a late edition, but I may be able to rustle up a special medal for anyone with the right answer. :slightly_smiling_face:

I can’t seem to type at the moment. I need to trim my claws, but I’ve got my hands on a couple of big tubs of Lego and a sheaf of instruction books. All the sets are there, but they’re all mixed in together. I’m trying to sort through it and build them all, but it’s a mammoth task. :slightly_smiling_face: Long nails are proving incredibly useful for picking up the tiny pieces, and I’m loathe to give up that advantage just yet. So you can look forward to some more typos for a while. :slightly_smiling_face:

I may be overthinking it but I feel sure there is more to it than “yes” for Orange6 - Have clicked everywhere I can think within Quiz and can’t find it! :thinking:

I am very jealous of the Lego-ing. A mammoth task maybe but a greatly satisfying one once complete!

I have added the answers to the quiz post. :slightly_smiling_face:

After much deliberation I have retro-awarded a full mark for Sicily for Blue2 as it seems it has indeed marketed itself as the Jewel of the Mediterranean. However Orange5 is definitely three. If you google it it gives a Wikipedia blurb about being ‘counted out’ for 10, but that’s only when you leave the ring, not get pinned to the mat. :+1:

So, I do declare this week’s winner to be…

@Ace12345 :trophy::tada:

And with an incredible two rounds of 5/5 too. :+1:

And @VanillaWithSprinkles gets the extra-special :banana: for finding Orange6 and indulging my silliness. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll be back next week with another. :+1:

I’m sorry, that was all I could come up with on short notice. :slightly_smiling_face: I feel flattered that you thought there’d be more, but also sad that I’ve disappointed you. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s slow work. :slightly_smiling_face: So far I have managed to do a farm grain silo, a barn, a fire hovercraft, a sea plane, and two thirds of a recycling truck. I’ll try and take a picture later to show you the scale of it (as long as you promise not to laugh when you see I’ve separated the bricks by colour… :slightly_smiling_face:).

It’s a giant game of ‘needle in a haystack’ for pretty much every piece. :slightly_smiling_face: It’s a bit easier (I use the word loosely) now I’ve sorted it into piles, but it’s still rather glacial. It is good when you finish one though. :slightly_smiling_face::tada:
