Cranky Dog Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 6 points! Total 127.5 points. Within one week, it feels like we went from 'hard mode' to 'entry level' difficulty. Not that I'm complaining or anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck of the draw, but I can kick it into hard mode if you like? 😉 6 hours ago, Cranky Dog said: Not that I'm complaining or anything. Sounds like complaining. 😜 4 hours ago, Corsair said: Thought it was Saturn due to the rings. Thought that would be one of the harder questions myself (that and the tine and Mantoux tests) but seems people may be more knowledgeable about planets (and tuberculosis) than expected based on reported scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
