Short Challenging Quiz

[MichaelJH]

A few people have suggested I post this at the main level as it is lost in the Social Chat thread!

A short but challenging quiz today designed to stop the use of Google!

Question: 1

'In the darkening twilight I saw a lone star hover gem-like above the bay.' This was the last diary entry of which explorer, written on January 5th 1922 at Grytviken in South Georgia?

Question: 2

Sao Vincente, Boa Vista and Santiago are among the islands of which republic? It gained its independence from Portugal in 1975, has a population of around half a million, and is situated around 600 kilometres from the coast of West Africa.

Question: 3

What name is that of an Arian Christian Germanic people who maintained a North African kingdom in the 5th and 6th centuries and who, under their king Gaiseric, sacked Rome in 455?

Have a good weekend if I haven't given you a headache?! 🤕

My reply is still the same as it was on the Social Site................ { but with more Paracetamol }

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Same here as well x

I’ll look forward to the answers. 👍 good idea I think your quizzes are a good challenge and should be posts in their own right.

I think my life is going to continue like this - lying down if I want no chest pain, sob etc - but my mind can still exercise. 👍
