Last weekend, Viv held a great challenge, but couldn't find another member to take up the reins during the week so I've, once more, challenged myself to attempt to run another.
Each person competing will receive points for each challenge won, and I’ll provide a prize for the rescue chosen by whoever gains the most points by 10pm next Sunday evening and, if there's a close runner up, something for their rescue, too.
I’ll post the challenges/questions at random times, and you can complete or answer them in any order.
