Take extra care to read the questions carefully this week, folks. The word 'not' appears in quite a few of them. If I'd have spotted it in one of the questions, instead of simply scan-reading it, I'd have scored 5 instead of the middling 4 that I actually achieved.

It's not one of the hardest weeks, in my opinion, but I reckon that it might still be quite difficult to score maximum points.

So just how well will you do then?

Like you, I didn’t read one of the questions properly but managed 5. It could have been 6 as I knew the answer when I read it again.

Briliant, Ducksie!

I find myself studying the more obscure news on the BBC website these days, on the basis that it might get included in the quiz. I was almost certain that Elon Musk's baby would turn up there, as it did, but I still had to think twice before answering (correctly).

Well done on that one Chris, I tend to turn a deaf ear when I hear his name mentioned on the radio or any news roundup, Trump..cannot help but know about that lad, seems to be rammed down my neck every time I turn on tv or radio
