Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
I did 26 of them, I think I might have got the rest eventually, but it was taking me a while and I had other things that I had to attend to. Maybe there should have been a time limit. Had it been at a pub quiz it would have needed a lock-in for me to complete it
Anyway, thanks Zico
