How did you do?

Well I knew the Hydrogen atom one…
I like someone who thinks positively, well done 🙂
I knew the 15-letter word one, but that is because I had found it funny it was that word 🙂
I thought that was probably the hardest one of the lot. Well done!
Only 6 today – these were tough ones!
Yes, it wasn’t the easiest bunch, but on this blog it definitely IS about the taking part, which I hope you enjoyed.
Hmmm … tough set, but I did better than Rants.
Very good and thanks for having a go at it.
