In question 100 there is a symbol that I don't understand and can't find anywhere -- I hope someone can enlighten me !! It looks like a lower case p and b superimposed one on top of the other.
Please help if you can ! Many thanks in advance !!! P

After much studying, to me it looked like a drawing of a horn (on its side) so shorthorn missing its horn. That's all I could come up with.
