Welcome to another Friday Quiz.

Apologies to email subscribers for the freaky email this evening – I am trying a new tool [Blogo] and their preview function publishes a blog post – it did warn me to disable mail-outs – but I, obviously, didn’t do it right.

If you have any feedback, especially on the types of questions, I would love to hear from you.
