Thanks for the quiz, Pokermonster.
Goodnight all
Think I got one of the first six quizzes on this, that may be the only one that was solved
Don't think you have done one for at least 4 months I reckon, will try to catch the next one earlier PM, always good fun.
This type of quiz is a rare example where 'wisdom of crowds' doesn't work at all. If one person were to play on their own they would probably succeed.
Yep, I dare say if playing on my own & given enough time to think I would have got more than one of those seven.
Always remember "Rat in the Skull" 1987
