Thank you for another great quiz, a lot of time and effort must go into doing these on your part, we look forward to the next one.
I’m not sure how I managed it, but I wrote down N as the Fly and O as the Pyramidal in my book when I was doing the quiz. But no matter, it was a fun quiz and well done to Fran and Bobby!
I figured that’s probably what happened, Mike. A bit frustrating I know!
My own silly fault of course, as the other one looked nothing like a pyramid!
