dwdq | DW Daily Answers: 30 March 2020

And here, a week later, the answers to life's great questions are presented to you in a handy easy-to-read online format! Actually these answers will not solve any of life's problems, but with luck they'll give you a chuckle and some nostalgia and maybe heartburn, but at least there's pills for that.

Thanks for playing the first round and getting us started up; we had a pretty good turnout for Day One. Remember, the more, the merrier!

Don't worry if you didn't get quoted this time; there's always tomorrow and future quizzes to get your game on. Persevere!
