Just curious why you know some answers are correct, and others not. Is there some pattern to it, and why is Koi Carp wrong? Sounds ideal.

[macker7170]

Hi tommo we now the answers are correct, as when you imput then into the excel chart they tell you if they are correct or not, we thought koi carp had to be right but there are seven of us with the same quiz and it does not come up right on any of ours.

[TOMMO33]

Could the answer just be KOI ?

[macker7170]

dear all who helped we have just got the last answer

the shy fish is a coi carp after various types of spelling not sure i have seen it spelt that way before but we have completed it so thanks to you all.
