Torsten, dear sir shouldn’t the answer be crossed his mind? I’m just confused because you clicked like for “found” his mind. Is that the correct answer or is it crossed his mind? Please clarify that for me. Thank you!

Torsten is not around. I hope he doesn’t mind my answering your question on his behalf.

Yes, the answer is ‘crossed’.

Absolutely. The correct answer is ‘crossed his mind’ of course which I think is a strong collocation. :+1:
