Dear MariaLaura, EmilyB, and other quiz-lovers :
The quizmaster knows all the answers... that is beyond dispute ! But if we’re honest... From the “dumb blonde quiz” I only knew one answer, i.e. the Canary Islands (because I once visited them and read a guidebook where that was mentioned). I did do well on your quiz though, 8 out of 10. I missed number one and number 10, and I guessed nr.2 right. I wish I was blond, but I’m not anymore ... Regards, Frank.
