Is this the simple version :-D

The only one I got was which day do most heart attacks happen which is Monday and it was a Monday when I had my first heart attack

You have put a lot of time and effort into this quiz and even though I could only answer one I have enjoyed reading the others replies to the quiz

Thank you for cheering people up :-) x

Well done on a great quiz!Me thinks some people aren't reading the questions correctly for example Which five CITIES in EUROPE have the busiest airports.

I also think there's a lot of Googling going on unless I'm extremely lacking in general knowledge! 🤪🤣🤣🤣

And the point of your post is exactly what? If you have nothing useful to say say nothing as plenty seem to be enjoying this quiz.

I ran out of time on Sunday so printed it off and took it into work where I tried it with colleagues over lunch.

Through the forum. I have got to know Michael, and know he has run quizzes in over 60s blocks and car homes. Please Mel don't be a LittleMel!
