Hi Cephas! Your very own identical question was answered in detail with explanations by FRISKA on 6 October.
I know you're new and I know this site can be quite confusing, but it's usually worthwhile trawling back for some way as well as putting a key word in the ' search the site' box.( bottom left) - underneath AB Editor's Blog).
On this occasion put in Cephas and see what happens!
Meanwhile, welcome to the site!

Thanks for your help everyone - I have scrolled back, but didn't find the answers (thought no-one had answered the first time I asked!). I find this site a bit confusing (what's the search facility for a start?), but maybe it's because I'm over 55 and a bit of a technophobe (and some of us have got a life as well).

Evening Cephas ...
Underneath all the topics section is a grey/white 'search the site' box. Before you post a new question it is always worth checking as many questions have been asked and answered before. This also saves space on the front page for brand new questions.
In this case as suggested by smouse, type in the box Whatstandwell hit go and all previous questions to do with this quiz will come up on the screen.There will probably be lots on some quizzes but it is just a case of clicking on the title and the original question will come up. Especially on a popular crossword/quiz it is quite possible that it has already been answered.
If you cannot find what you are looking for then post a new question.
Another good facility is Threads. Above topics is 'my profile' click on it and then scroll down to bottom and click on 'threads I'm involved in'
This will bring up all your questions and questions you have given an answer to. If you want to re-join a question to add something or check whether anyone else has answered it can save ages scrolling through the pages if what you want was days ago. You will then have to keep clicking the back button to get back to page 1.Hope this helps a little,Good luck. xx
