DeleteFive correct, more than I thought I would.
ReplyDeleteTut tut! More homework required from you young lady!
Delete7
ReplyDeleteFun quiz! I'm surprised that I got 8/10 right, due to better luck than management, I must say. I've just started reading your very entertaining blog, so I'm late to the party.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! Here! Have a flagon of foaming ale and dance!
DeleteOnly five correct this time. But I'm okay with that. I've never known much about Africa. I love the colourful Africa heading picture.
ReplyDeleteThe heading was again made with A.I. - Microsoft Bing Image Creator.

ReplyDeleteIt could have been worse.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your participation young man.
DeleteI got the monkey wrong, thought it was a mandrill. But 9 out of 10 is not bad for a middle-aged Swabian.
ReplyDeleteI only think of you being young but I guess you are indeed middle-aged now.
DeleteGot most of them except 2 and 9. My daughter has climbed Kilimanjaro so 4hat one was easy.!
ReplyDeleteThat's nothing! My son has climbed Ben Nevis!
DeleteVery surprised to get 8 correct. 2 and 5 were more guessed at than the others!
ReplyDeleteFor a mature lady from Downsouth, that is a remarkable effort!
DeletePass...too tired to think this morning.
ReplyDeleteBoozing and dancing till two in the morning is no basis for successful quizzing.
DeleteOnly 4 this week.
ReplyDeleteI got 8 out of 10. I missed the monkey question and the most populous nation. I thought it would have been Egypt.
ReplyDelete80% this week. A couple of educated guesses.
ReplyDeleteI missed two, but the thought of Sharon Stone as Isak Dinesen gave me a laugh.
ReplyDelete8 out of 10 correct which is good for me.

7/10. Deductive reasoning worked better than my knowledge of Africa.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear - 6/10!
ReplyDelete7/10. Missed 2, 4 and 5. (I'm hopeless with flags...)
