Today's quiz comes from the 'O Xondros & O LIgnos' lunchtime quiz in Maleme, Chania, Crete.
These 10 questions were part of the second handout round and I hope you enjoy them.
We had teams from the USA (thank you for your service guys!), Belgium, France, Brazil and the UK...as well as one or two Greeks at the quiz this week.
Congratulations to 'The Famous Five' on winning the quiz, and if only 'Skullduggery' had read the brief on Round Three, there would probably have been a different outcome!
If you want to see the full set of questions then they will be available soon on the EXTRAS page here on my Buy Me A Coffee Page...And as you know, ALL EXTRAS ARE FREE for members!
